Giroud can write history against Denmark: Would be an honour
With a goal against Denmark, Oliver Giroud can equal Thierry Henry’s record for most goals in the national team. It would be a great honor, says the AC Milan attacker.
When Denmark and France clash in the Park on Sunday evening, French national team history may be written.
Oliver Giroud is only a goal behind Thierry Henry’s record for most goals for the French national team, and thus he can both equalize and take over first place on the list on Sunday.

Giroud is listed with 49 goals in 113 international matches for France.

It remains to be seen whether the 35-year-old equals or holds the goal record alone after the match against Denmark tonight.
