This morning’s Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) discusses Giroud’s relationship with European competitions, stating that it is where he feels at home and has performed best throughout his remarkable career.
He scored a goal in San Siro’s 2-1 victory over PSG in the autumn, and he scored again with a header yesterday, his first goal at San Siro since the win over Roma in January.
Prior to last night, there had only been one versus Roma, the aforementioned Champions League goal, and a brace against Torino. A interesting note: Zima, who lost the Frenchman last night, was a member of Torino’s squad.
The French striker now has 14 goals for the season after scoring yesterday. Giroud’s goals will be even more important if the Rossoneri want to extend their European campaign, and he knows how to achieve it because he has previously won the competition.
Meanwhile, the formerThe Chelsea player is still seeking records. As previously stated, yesterday’s goal was his 14th of the season, and he has already equalled his greatest tally with Milan, which came in the 2021-22 Scudetto campaign.
His personal best with the Milan shirt was recorded last season when he scored 18 goals in total so there is plenty of time to reach and surpass it.
Meanwhile, Giroud is second only to Harry Kane for headed goal: yesterday’s was the seventh, while the English centre-forward of Bayern Munich has scored one more. A specialty that, like him, never seems to get old.
