Olivier Giroud he joked about his birthday and advancing age, together with some fans who, outside the Milanello sports center, gave him a surprise and birthday present, bringing from home some golden balloons to remember the lucky number and a pillow with the effigy of the bomber and the cup of the Scudetto number 19. The Frenchman appeared smiling and surprised and as always showed his class as a bomber of a thousand battles and as a leader of personality.

A new youth, despite the advancing age: for France’s oldest scorer ever, 2 goals behind Hen’s all-time top scorerry, a new old lion challenge.
