Before tonight’s game between Milan and Panathinaikos, some doubts were raised regarding the Rossoneri’s lack of goalscoring recently. However, Olivier Giroud put this to bed just in the first half of the clash.
The Frenchman, who arrived from Chelsea earlier this summer, bagged a wonderful brace against the Greek side. The first goal was a lovely finish with his left foot and the other was a very smart header.
😍 Great pass by Tomori and an even better finish by Giroud!

It remains to be seen if he can grab a hat-trick in the second half, but there is some worry as he struggled with his ankle in the first 45 minutes. Therefore, he could be subbed off.

hahahaha … Funny against Panathinaikos and I can score. Giroud is slow and old and against stronger teams like Samdoria he won’t even be seen on the field, Giroud will be a ghost, as if he doesn’t exist. Ibrahimovic is a god in Milan and only he can fix something, because against Samdoria it will be very bad, Calabria is slow, he can’t stop any attacker Panathinaikos, then we can only imagine a scenario against Samdoria. Rebic has been lost for a long time, he can’t keep the ball in his possession. Salamankers, like Castijeho, plays only for himself and only he knows what he is playing
