"I was basically crying"- Giroud on his reaction to winning the World Cup

Giroud has described the feeling of winning the World’s most coveted trophy to reporters:

“I was basically crying!

“I can’t explain that moment. When the final whistle blew, you just want to run everywhere, to jump on your team-mates.

“I was on the bench for the last 15 minutes, and I could start to realise what was happening.

“I ran on to the pitch, I crossed Adil Rami and we hugged, and then I stayed maybe 10 seconds on the floor, wondering to myself what had just happened.

“After that, I went to enjoy it with my team-mates, but I was basically crying like a kid.”
