As we previously reported, after returning to the French championship, Olivier Giroud scored a goal in his first match for Lille. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He set a new club record by playing and scoring at the age of 38 years and 321 days. This achievement is the highest for the "Dogs" team in the French championship.
The previous record was set in November 2022. At that time, José Fonte achieved this result at the age of 38 years and 319 days, being only two days younger than Giroud.
In the next, that is the second round, Lille will play at home against Monaco, one of the main contenders of the competition. This match is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 24.
This match is an important contest for the teams and could determine the future direction of the championship.
