Olivier Giroud will enjoy an emotional reunion with Morocco boss Walid Regragui during Wednesday night's World Cup semi-finals.
The reigning world champions sealed their place in the last four with a 2-1 victory over England at the Al-Bayt Stadium at the weekend, whilst Morocco became the first-ever African side to secure their place in the last four with a slender win over Portugal. Giroud was key to his nation’s success against the Three Lions having scored what was eventually the winning goal.
The strike - his fourth at the tournament already - saw the veteran striker extend his lead at the top of France’s goalscoring chart. He will no doubt be aiming to add to that against surprise package Morocco but in doing so he could trample over the dreams of one of his former teammates.
