Olivier Giroud will long remember this friendly match against Ukraine which, however, on paper, nothing very exciting.
The world champion striker first honored his 100th selection by starting at the forefront of the attack alongside Anthony Martial.
The centenary then celebrated it well by scoring a magnificent goal with a curled strike from the left at 20 meters (24th) allowing him to join Michel Platini in the ranking of the top scorers in the history of the Blues with 41 goals.
The Chelsea player even paid the luxury of overtaking "Platoche" with a 42nd goal in the selection, with a diving header in ambush (33rd).
Giroud is now only 2nd in the standings, nine lengths behind the master in the field Thierry Henry (51 goals).
