Olivier Giroud emerged as the standout figure for AC Milan during their 1-0 victory against Genoa last night.

His heroics didn’t stem from scoring a goal but from his instrumental role in maintaining a clean sheet.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now provided his perspective on Giroud’s exceptional performance.

Giroud was compelled to step into the goalkeeper’s shoes following Mike Maignan’s red card, and he executed a critical save in the dying moments of added time.

Thanks to this triumph, Milan has ascended to the top spot in the league standings, holding a two-point advantage over their city rivals Inter.

Taking to his Instagram account, Ibrahimovic expressed his admiration for Giroud’s heroics and humorously requested Milan to send him the ‘Giroud 9’ goalkeeper jersey, stating, “I want this shirt @acmilan. Never too late to find your real position @oliviergiroud.”
