Remarkable for his longevity, Olivier Giroud has reached a figure which could be exceeded in the short term.
At the age of 37, Olivier Giroud never ceases to amaze observers. The AC Milan center forward has a string of starts and goals with his club, of which he is the most effective player this season. Giroud even achieved the feat of reaching a total of 10 goals scored in all competitions for the 14th consecutive year – a unique case in Europe.
Author of 56 goals for the French team, Olivier Giroud can also and above all pride himself on being the best scorer in the history of the Blues. But that’s not all, since the 2018 world champion is also the top active French scorer among the current players in the France group, with a total of 335 goals.
Mbappé and Griezmann in Giroud’s retro
Olivier Giroud knows the adage: records are made to be broken. If the native of Chambéry continues to resist, the emulation within the French team is total. Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann obviously have his goal record in their sights. But the Parisian and the Madrilenian, who have become the respective top scorers for PSG and Atlético, also intend to overtake Giroud in his career goal total. With 314 achievements at just 25 years old, Mbappé is launched like a TGV. Griezmann, including his side, has also crossed the 300 mark since he now has a total of 305 goals, in all competitions, in his rich career.
