AC Milan striker Giroud happy for fans: They've waited 11 years for title

AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud is full of pride after helping the club win the Scudetto.

Giroud was a huge influence on Milan's title triumph this season.

“I think you really realise the impact it has had in Milan and in Italy on the uncovered bus. You see these hundreds of thousands of Milan fans who have been waiting for it for a while," he said.

“We are all very proud to have Milan back at the top. It was a hard fight until the end and you realise you are joining a very big club when you see all this passion around you and the class that reigns in this historic club. You go through so much."

Giroud also said: “I am happy. Ten years after Montpellier it's just happiness. It's a beautiful story, especially because AC Milan had been waiting for it for eleven years. The party has lived up to expectations, all these years, for the fans.

“For my part, I was lucky enough to have Sheva (Andriy Shevchenko) who also congratulated me. These are things that warm the heart."
