Olivier Giroud was proud of his clean sheet as the AC Milan striker filled in at goal for victory over Genoa.
Milan won 1-0, with Giroud taking Mike Maignan's jersey after the Frenchman was sent off. With all substitutions used, the striker took his place between the posts.
“I never experienced a moment like this!" laughed Giroud to Sky Italia
“I am very proud for the team, we fought to the end, I made a good save! I was also lucky with the crossbar. We fought like lions and I am very happy for the fans."
Giroud managed a late save to keep the clean sheet.
“I wasn't sure if it was going to be a header or not, so I thought just go and it's better to be there than staying on the line. I do not have the movements of a goalkeeper, but that is what I felt. It really hurt my arm, but that's fine.
“I did like to go in goal when I was a kid, so that's why I was chosen."
Giroud did his interviews wearing Maignan's jersey.
“I am keeping this jersey now, I'm framing it!"
