Olivier Giroud, the iconic French striker, has announced his retirement from international football following the conclusion of Euro 2024.

The 37-year-old forward leaves the national team as Franceโ€™s top goalscorer ever, with an impressive tally of 57 goals in 137 appearances.

Giroudโ€™s career with Les Bleus has been nothing short of extraordinary. He played a pivotal role in Franceโ€™s 2018 World Cup victory and set the record as the oldest outfield player to represent the national team. His presence on the field has been instrumental, both for his goal-scoring prowess and his leadership qualities.

As Giroud bids farewell to the international stage, he is preparing for a new chapter in Major League Soccer (MLS). His move to the United States signifies the end of a remarkable era for French football and the beginning of an exciting journey in a new league.

Respect and admiration pour in for Giroud, who has left an indelible mark on the sport and will forever be remembered as an eternal legend of French football.
