AC Milan crashes in Bergamo, conceding 3 goals against Gian Piero Gasperini's team. The Rossoneri are now -7 behind Juve, awaiting Inter's match later tonight. One of the few positive notes from the night in Bergamo concerns Olivier Giroud, scoring for the first time against Atalanta.
According to Opta, since 2021 (his Serie A debut), Olivier Giroud, at 37 years old, is the oldest player to have been involved in more than 10 goals in each of the last three seasons in the top five European leagues.
Another interesting fact concerns the specialty of the French striker: since the beginning of 2023, no player has scored more headed goals than Olivier Giroud in the top five European leagues: eight, tied with Harry Kane.
Six out of eight of Olivier Giroud's current Serie A goals (including the last five) have been scored away from home: only two less than all those he scored away from home in the top league in the previous two seasons (eight). Additionally, among players who have scored more than three goals in this Serie A, only Matteo Politano (80%, 4 out of 5) has scored more away goals than Olivier Giroud (75%, 6 out of 8), as relayed via Milan News.
