Giroud: I'm happy that Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain win, Douai impressed me

April 29: Before Arsenal's Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, French striker Giroud, who had played for Arsenal, was interviewed.

Giroud played for Arsenal for 6 years. He first said: "Who will I support this semi-final? I am unstable. As a Frenchman, I always support my country's team, but I was also an Arsenal. No matter what the result is, I will be happy and will support the winning side in the final."

Giroud then praised Paris Saint-Germain's young player Douai: "Oh, I like him. When France's match against Croatia on March 23, he came on as a substitute, and I saw his performance in the stands. He was full of motivation and personality after his appearance. He is very brave. Although not every attempt has been successful, he is brave enough to try in the game. He keeps breaking through, is very impactful, fast, and has a good ball-handling ability. In fact, I noticed him in February 2024, when I represented Milan in the Europa League against Rennes, he impressed me."

Finally, Giroud also talked about Paris Saint-Germa goalkeeper Donaluma: "I think people criticize him a bit too much, and he should not be criticized so much. I am very happy that he responded on the court and proved his ability. To me, Donaluma is the top five goalkeeper in Europe."
