Olivier Giroud up to Thierry Henry, again. After doubling the former star of the Blues in the ranking of the top scorers in the history of the France team, the Milanese equals him in the number of selections this Friday, against Gibraltar. 123 caps for the two men, tied for third place in the ranking of the most used players in the France team. Hugo Lloris (145 caps) and Lilian Thuram (142 caps) still have a little margin ahead.
Before kick-off, Giroud had shaken the net 53 times with the national team, he who started in November 2011 under the orders of Didier Deschamps' predecessor, Laurent Blanc.
