Olivier Giroud pulls off another Europa League masterclass 🤯

Like fine wine.

This Thursday, Lille travels to the pitch of Red Star Belgrade for the second leg of the Europa League playoffs.


Starting this second leg with a one-goal deficit, Lille could rely on the legend Olivier Giroud to open the scoring and get them back into this double confrontation.

Scoring in the 4th minute of play, the world champion secured his 300th career goal, but that's not all!

According to StatsduFoot, the former Arsenal player became the oldest player to score in a Europa League knockout match.

At 39 years and 149 days, he dethrones Edin Dzeko, who held the record with a goal scored at the age of 38 years and 333 days.
