While Olivier Giroud might not be as flashy as Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski, Sergio Aguero, or Luis Suarez, he is unquestionably one of the best and most productive strikers of his generation.
The French international has won significant trophies, but he has never won the Premier League. He won Ligue 1 with Montpellier, Serie A with AC Milan, the UEFA Champions League, and the Europa League with Chelsea.
His career has been remarkable; he was a key member of Didier Deschamps’ France team that won the 2018 World Cup, advanced to the finals of the Euro 2016 and 2022 World Cups, and won a Puskas award.
Giroud named the world’s best
The former Arsenal striker is France’s all-time top scorer, surpassing Thierry Henry during the World Cup in Qatar, as reported by ESPN.
He is also one of the few players to have won the World Cup and the Champions League.
His elder brother, Romaine has hailed the former Chelsea striker as the best player in the world in an emotional TV segment on Telefoot. ”For me, you are the best player in the world. I never told you, but through you, I made the career that I never managed to make,” the 45-year-old said.
As reported by Sun UK, Romaine now works as a nutritionist and claims his younger brother inspired him to take up the career.
Giroud hits back at troll
Sports Brief previously reported on Giroud hitting back at a player from Australia who trolled him and Kylian Mbappe during the 2022 World Cup.
Jason Cummings tried but failed to swap kits with the two French stars, then claimed the AC Milan striker acted like he ‘does not speak English’.
Giroud, who spent over ten years in England, took to Twitter and uploaded a picture of the kit he exchanged with another player as a counter-troll.
