AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud is delighted with his early season form after victory over Cagliari.

Giroud struck twice in Sunday's 4-1 win.

“I am very proud to play for Milan and in a stadium like San Siro," Giroud told DAZN.

“I'm very happy with the team performance, because we started the game playing our style of football. We really connected on the pitch and could've scored more, while the support from the fans was incredible."

He added: “I heard there was something special about the Number 9 shirt, but I am not superstitious. I believe in myself and my abilities. As a kid, I watched Marco van Basten, Jean-Pierre Papin and Inzaghi wear this shirt, so it makes me happy to be here now."
