AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud says he'll relish their Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan.

Giroud accepts such games must be treasured at this stage of his career.

He said, "It's a type of match that I will miss after my career. I want to live this moment with happiness, cheerfulness, positivity, helping with my experience teammates if they will have a bit of pressure, frenzy... I'm very excited.

"You don't play this match every year. I'm very proud of having made a great journey in the Champions League, but we are close to doing something huge for the club and we don't want to give up.

"It feels special, wonderful, crazy... You see the faces of the fans and yours too... It's a mix of emotion, anger, adrenaline, joy, a little bit of everything."
