Earlier today, Olivier Giroud announced that he will be retiring from l'équipe de France following the Euro 2024 tournament, which is set to be held by Germany from mid-June until mid-July.
Giroud has seen some greatness in his years with France. He had become the all-time leading goal scorer for France. And during his time there, he has participated in three major international tournament finals (the 2016 Euro, and the 2018 and 2022 World Cup Finals). Having been a member of the France in 2018, he also became a world champion when France won the World Cup in Russia.
So despite the sad news that he will be leaving, I personally am quite grateful for all that he gave for France, and helping them to achieve real greatness during his tenure there.
Allez les Bleus!
