GIROUD IS THE MVP FROM JUVENTUS v AC MILAN

The man of crucial goals wins it again to seal Champions League qualification

If you get one shot, one opportunity, sings Eminem. And one chance was all that Olivier Giroud needed to leave a long-lasting mark in AC Milan's 1-0 success away to Juventus. It's a win that confirms the Rossoneri's place in next season's Champions League, and a goal that gives him the MVP of the match after being voted for by fans via the AC Milan Official App.

The Rossoneri number 9 bagged his first career goal against the Bianconeri and it couldn't have come at a better time. For Oli, it is his twelfth of the league campaign and his fifth header, a stat that no other player in Europe's top-five leagues has bettered in this 2022/23 season.

Again, this year, Giroud has been the man of the moment, scoring some crucial goals both home and away in deciding results and realising the Rossoneri's fortunes. It's still early days in his relationship with the Club, but Oli has already provided some stellar and unforgettable moments.

We mentioned earlier about taking advantage of the only opportunity in the best way possible, with an exquisite header from Calabria's cross. But as well as his goal at the end of the first half, the numbers tell of another side to his game, one of great sacrifice for the team: twelve successful passes, four lay-offs, two fouls conceded. And lots, truly lots of applause for Oli!
