On his birthday, Olivier Giroud received an honorary distinction from his club, AC Milan.

Like Karim Benzema (soon to be 35), time does not seem to have any hold on Olivier Giroud. Center-forward holder of AC Milan since last season, the Frenchman has retained this status at the start of this new season. And he takes it. Able to guide the Rossoneri to the Scudetto, he has split four goals in Serie A since the start of the 2022/23 financial year, starting on a higher footing than his statistics from last season (11 goals last season in Serie A). On the European scene, he also found the net in the Champions League during the success gleaned against Dinamo Zagreb.

A real darling of the Milanese public, he received this Friday a superb gift from his supporters. He was named AC Milan Player of the Month for September. What better birthday present than this distinction? On the day he blows out his 36th birthday, the French world champion will approach his squad’s move to Empoli this Saturday (kick-off at 9 p.m.) in the best possible conditions to return to success on the transalpine scene. Before the international break, during which he scored against Austria at the Stade de France, the former Montpellier player had found the net in the clash against Naples but it was not enough. The Azzurri’s victory at Giuseppe-Meazza (1-2) had propelled them to the top of the standings and had also deprived the Lombards of this pleasure at the same time.
