Olivier Giroud would have done better not to make fun of the penalty missed by Antoine Griezmann in the Coupe du Roi…

AC Milan experienced a nightmare evening on Saturday. Opposed to Bologna at San Siro, the Rossoneri had to settle for a draw (2-2). Trailing after half an hour of play, the Milanese thought they had done the hard part by regaining the advantage thanks to a double from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, but the visitors finally snatched the equalizer in added time thanks to a penalty .

And Stefano Pioli’s men may have it even worse as they themselves missed two penalties. The fault lies with his two Frenchmen, Olivier Giroud and Théo Hernandez. The former Gunner was the first to miss, shortly before the break, his compatriot imitating him at the start of the last quarter of an hour while the French world champion had been replaced on the hour mark. what is worth to them to enter through the back door into the annals of the Milanese club since the Lombard club had not experienced such bad luck since 1955.

The day before his failure against Lukasz Skorupski, Olivier Giroud did not hesitate to make fun on Instagram of the penalty missed by Antoine Griezmann in the Copa del Rey against Sevilla FC. When he was about to strike, the Madrilenian slipped, sending his shot into the clouds. Antoine Griezmann was certainly the first to chamber his teammate with the Blues. “Great Oliv!”, had in fact written the Mâconnais in a comment on a commercial publication for food. A comment to which the top scorer in the history of the France team responded with “Thank you my Ninou and great peno eh”, all accompanied by two mocking emojis.
