France's Kylian Mbappe overshadows Olivier Giroud after goalscoring record
France has seen some incredible players in their history, but it's the unassuming Olivier Giroud that can now lay claim to being among the country's greats.
The AC Milan striker became France's leading men's scorer when he put his side ahead in their 3-1 victory over Poland in the last 16 of the World Cup.
But on his momentous day - when he scored his 52nd international goal - the former Chelsea and Arsenal striker was upstaged by team-mate Kylian Mbappe's stunning showing.
Didier Deschamps' men mean business as they aim to defend their crown and their charge is being led by veteran 36-year-old striker Giroud and 23-year-old sensation Mbappe.
"This is the competition of my dreams," said man of the match Mbappe, who scored twice and set up Giroud's goal. "It is something I have been preparing for physically and mentally.
"We are doing well but [we are] a long way from the objective of winning the final."
