Giroud, the extraordinary statistic

At 37, the French striker continues to break records by setting the scorers crazy.

Sunday, AC Milan easily won (0-3) on the Empoli pitch, on the occasion of the 19th day of Serie A. During this meeting, Olivier Giroud scored the second goal, on penalty. This is the tenth club achievement for the French striker since the start of the season, in all competitions (nine in the league and one in the Champions League).

For the fourteenth consecutive year, the native of Chambéry is guaranteed to finish the season with at least ten goals on the clock. In the past, he has already achieved this performance with Montpellier, Arsenal and Chelsea. According to Opta, no other player in the five biggest European championships has done better since Giroud’s first season in the elite, during the 2010-2011 financial year (14 goals with Montpellier).
