"As we go closer to the finish of the season, it's only natural that there will be more pressure," Giroud said to the club's media outlets. "However, the entire group, including the entire squad, is completely focused on the next game's aim, which is to win. To win the Scudetto, every player must dream, think, eat, and breathe; we're so close, and everyone wants it, that we can't deny it."

"I'm hoping for a fantastic final run-in for our supporters, and I'm hoping for a once-in-a-lifetime event for us all." In Milan's comeback win over Lazio, Giroud scored his ninth goal of the Serie A season, giving him his greatest goalscoring league season since he scored 12 goals for Arsenal in the Premier League in 2016-17.

Milan are seeking to win the Serie A title after a strong defensive run. Only Liverpool (six) has conceded fewer goals in the top five European leagues since the start of 2022 than Pioli's men have in their 15 league outings.
