🚨 Olivier Giroud is preparing for an emotional return to the Emirates Stadium as Lille face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday. The 40-year-old French striker spent six years at Arsenal between 2012 and 2018 and admits leaving the club was one of the toughest decisions of his career. 🗣 Giroud: “It will be a match full of emotions. Every time I go back there, I feel great joy.” “Arsenal was a major part of my career. I was really sad when I left the club, but I had to make that choice to play at the 2018 World Cup. It was one of the toughest decisions of my career.” “To come back at 40 years old with a French club and play against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal is a blessing. It is something I wanted to happen, and I feel very lucky.” 🥹❤️
