A Golden Finish: Oliver Giroud’s Season with LAFC
Oliver Giroud leaves LAFC after 1 year, and expected to return to France.
When Oliver Giroud signed with LAFC, many doubted whether the 37-year-old striker still had the legs to compete in Major League Soccer. But Giroud didn’t come to Los Angeles for a quiet retirement—he came to leave a legacy.
From the moment he stepped onto the pitch at BMO Stadium, the veteran’s presence was undeniable. Towering over defenders and commanding attention in the box, Giroud brought a blend of elegance and grit to LAFC’s attack. His debut goal—an acrobatic volley in stoppage time against Austin FC—sent a clear message: he still had magic in his boots.
Off the field, Giroud quickly became a fan favorite. With his trademark humility and quiet leadership, he mentored younger players like Cristian Olivera and Mateusz Bogusz, passing on lessons from a career filled with World Cups and Champions League battles.
By midseason, Giroud had racked up double-digit goals, many of them game-winners. But it wasn’t just his scoring that stood out—it was the way he elevated the entire team. Under his influence, LAFC found a new rhythm, a balance between flair and structure that carried them to the top of the Western Conference.
In the playoffs, Giroud delivered when it mattered most. A towering header in the conference final and a calm, clinical finish in the MLS Cup helped LAFC lift their second league title. As confetti rained down, Giroud stood at midfield, arms raised—not seeking the spotlight, but basking in the joy of one final triumph.
For LAFC, the Giroud season was more than just a success. It was a chapter of class, resilience, and quiet greatness. And for Giroud, it was the perfect curtain call to an extraordinary career—ending not with a whisper, but with a roar in the City of Angels.
