Olivier Giroud demonstrated incredible skills towards the end of his career.

In a bizarre match against Genoa, the Frenchman had to step into the AC Milan goal at the end of the match when Mike Maignan received a red card.

The veteran goalkeeper made a crucial save that secured a vital 1-0 victory for the Rossoneri, propelling them to the top spot in the Serie A standings.

Following the match, O. Giroud earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Week, even as a goalkeeper.

AC Milan also included the striker in their lineup as a goalkeeper, demonstrating their confidence in him.

After the game, O. Giroud said: "I felt like I needed to move towards the ball, as I wasn't sure if Calabria would do anything. I acted boldly, threw myself in front of the ball. I didn't expect to experience such emotions while standing in the goal. I made a crucial save."
