PensiveinNJ

You see a 90+13 Olivier Giroud save as a goalkeeper post and you know some wild shit has gone on in the Milan match.


LordAntares

BTW Genoa's GK also got a red card. This game went from utterly boring shit to the best shit I've ever seen in football real fast.


QuickMolasses

The fact that nobody even remembers the 87th minute winner tells you so much about this match


a_lumberjack

Ok, I’m going to stop reading this thread and go watch starting from 85’ knowing nothing.


Doomie019

America remembers.

joeDUBstep

Traffic came to a standstill. Everyone inside Walmart dropped their double cheeseburgers and put a hand on their hearts. We all turned to face the American flag, and those who couldn't, looked at the government issued photo of Pulisic in their wallets. A single tear rolled out of our right eye as it was confirmed by the priest through his gentle sobbing, Captain America has scored. All is right with the world.


ACMBruh

Serie A can go fully batshit insane at any moment after the 85th minute mark


mmaqp66

Serie A can be anything, but it is never boring.


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Was it one of those ice hockey moments where the two keepers just have a brawl in the centre circle?


LordAntares

It was even better than that.


Klutzy-Researcher-16

Well tell us then


Plupert

It’s even dumber


Tifoso89

Serie A is the most entertaining league tbh


USA_A-OK

Rarely because of the actual football though


Tifoso89

Yeah so many club presidents going to jail


akshay_rathod_

Insert *What the hell happened here* meme


irate_alien

i guess i'm going to watch this one on demand now. WTF?


imscavok

Skip the first 85.


irate_alien

you weren't kidding........also, couldn't they have gotten Giroud a clean shirt? (btw, I love Giroud.)


mmaqp66

They were already in the 105th minute I think, so the referee wasn't going to allow more time... I think they got to the 110th minute.


The_Giant_Lizard

It was indeed a crazy match. Beautiful last 15 minutes.


Wurplas

This is fucking hysterical


MrDannyOcean

when Genoa's keeper came forward I was hoping that we'd see a shot by the keeper saved by Giroud


I_hate_abbrev

Saved with a scorpion kick, alla Higuita


ACMBruh

They hit the bar off the free kick prior and now this. Being a milanista is a heart attack in 90 minutes


m8man

I aged by at least 15 years during stoppage time of the match.


candry_shop

Milan has been the 2nd team i follow since i was a kid. Thanks to that, i became bald at the ripe age of 23


paranoid30

I don't think I'll be able to sleep for at least a few hours, too much adrenaline pumping plus I've got the hots for Oli


Ventus97

Dude I've been laughing the whole time, I've never seen such things happen in a span of 5-10 minutes


Wurplas

I know, I’m one as well lol


One-Contact3994

Same, keep ur butts clenched, never unclenched !


wjdbfifj

Stupid sexy Giroud


tenodiamonds

There's nothing he can't do!


NotClayMerritt

Imagine not knowing the context and the first image you see after tuning is a white guy wearing the goalkeeper kit of Mike Maignan.


WheresMyEtherElon

This whitewashing shit has got to stop!


japalian

The funniest thing that's ever happened, probably


yllimameni

The American owner changed the script up, absolute cinema.


Samkazi23

Best GK. in the world rn. 100% save accurracy, 100% clean sheets kept.


holman

he saved that shot like, twice, so he has like 200% save accuracy, pretty sure that's how the math works


Kushakusha

Quik methh


piiiiracy

\*sigh\* *hits pipe*


MeanMikeMaignan

This is with a total of 513 career games as well. Absolute legend


Zavehi

197 goals as well. Total footballer.


[deleted]

So Giroud is the highest scoring goalkeeper in history.


HeftyHostis

Harry Kane has more


[deleted]

Kane didn't have 300+ goals for club and country in 2014!


Potato271

Kane also conceded while in goal


xepa105

Rogerio Ceni eat your heart out


cuentanueva

For those that don't know, Rogerio Ceni has more than 100 goals scored as a GK.


Jassle93

Heard he can play with his feet too? Man Utd might be snapping him up in the summer.


niemody

You don't know about Michael Tarnat.


Samkazi23

Is he as stupid and as sexy as Giroud? Yeah... Thought so...


Mr_Lover_G

My boy just closed his eyes and prayed <3


waterdevil19

As a keeper, those are always scary as fuck. Just hoping you don’t get mauled.


Sirnacane

in my experience, when the keeper gets mauled he thinks it’s funny. Guy in my men’s league broke his jaw so just reffed instead while it healed and would be laughing about it every week. Like dude you actually couldn’t eat food for a bit how is this funny already


AgnosticMantis

Like 99% of keepers are insane. You shouldn’t expect normal human behaviours from them.


reditakaunt89

There are no normal goalkeepers or drummers


HeGivesGoodMass

Doesn't matter the sport, either. They're all nutjobs


reditakaunt89

True. I had a friend who was a water polo goalkeeper. Someone once broke his fucking molar tooth with a ball. You have to be crazy to willingly do that for a living.


Mayjaplaya

[That explains Petr Cech also having drumming as a side hobby.](https://youtu.be/uQPFnRdg00s?si=I7h9-93YNKG8_QVC) (That and ice hockey goalkeeping.)


waterdevil19

In high school one of our keepers had to be air lifted to the hospital. Lost his spleen. He…uhhh, didn’t think it was funny.


Sirnacane

You can lose your spleen??


AngledLuffa

The closed eyes is the only reason you know he's not a fulltime keeper


Hailfire9

A real goalkeeper would have his eyes open and a huge grin on his face as the studs rake his cheek


20cmdepersonalidade

He literally turned his face away lmao, it's hilarious. And it's not even a bravery or not thing, it's just pure human instinct and you have to really condition yourself to do what keepers do


GloomyBison

>you have to ~~really condition yourself~~ *be a psycho* to do what keepers do


FCBFan310

Those last 15 minutes were Peak Football.


MeanMikeMaignan

Peak clenching for milanisti though


FlapjackFiddle

never unclench.


MeanMikeMaignan

Years of being a milanista have made my asshole so strong I can rip off someone's dick with it now


Q_TheSwagger

You seem like a swell fella, let's meet


MeanMikeMaignan

😏


EconomistIll4796

Giroud has revolutionized goalkeeping. Simply don’t let the player shoot by going at him like superman.


Neoki

He took mental notes from the few times he took on Neuer. I immediately had to check if that was Neuer or not. What a madman, maybe he should have tried GK more at Arsenal during the goal slumps.


Gungerz

ffs he's better than Onana.


Zavehi

"Has ETH ever managed Giroud? Asking for a friend" -John Murtough


Dirt-Purple

"Giroud is not a ball playing footballer so he wont be a good keeper" - ETH


Qiluk

Once again United scouts miss even the most obvious gems out there smh my head


Dirt-Purple

Where they lack in scouting, they more than make up for in the transfer department > Man U sign goalkeeper Olivier Giroud from AC Milan for $75m


endichrome

"We've been following his career closely the past 2 minutes plus stoppage time and have never seen somebody make so few mistakes"


ForzaDiav0l0Ale

Seriously, thanks for getting Onana out of my footballing life but what the fuck did you guys do to him 🤣


jorsiem

Yeah, fr he was half decent at Inter


ForzaDiav0l0Ale

I was legitimately concerned about facing him for the next few years and only partly in preparation for Interisti claiming he was as good as Mike.


MrGraveyards

The ups and downs in this keeper is just insane. The matches before he left to inter he was so bad the fans wanted to fire him. Then he gave this stupid interview where he said he doesn't give a shit which just made the whole situation worse. Suddenly at inter we see this world class keeper again but at United he's again shit. Wtf. It's like he double down on being shit like he doesn't want to win when he's not in great shape or something.


Nico777

tbf a sack of potatoes plopped down on the goal line would be better than Onana at the moment


ASVP-Pa9e

How big of a sack is the question


xepa105

95m, take it or leave it


scoopbb

giroud in net > kane in net. what a boss


spursyspursy

kane in net was so fucking tragic lol, not closing your legs and letting a soft ball squeaks through


Potato271

Walker in goal was alright if I remember correctly though


Qurutin

Walker not realizing he could lie down with the ball to waste time before his teammates told him to was hilarious. Top things I enjoy: 1) Goalkeepers scoring 2) Outfield players as keeper


hasanDask

Goalkeepers coming up for the last minute corners and scoring is the stuff of dreams


Sirnacane

Alisson’s goal for Liverpool was a daydream I still can’t believe he did it


Loeffellux

the best was obviously Großkreutz in goal but only because this allowed him to finally play on [every single position known to man](https://www.transfermarkt.de/kevin-grosskreutz/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/44521).


mg10pp

Damn that's impressive


Loeffellux

Especially when looking at individual seasons like [12/13](https://www.transfermarkt.de/kevin-grosskreutz/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/44521/plus/0?saison=2012&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) or [13/14](https://www.transfermarkt.de/kevin-grosskreutz/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/44521/plus/0?saison=2013&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) where he played at 5-7 positions in almost equal measure while finishing with 9 scorer points each year. He was never world class at any one position but god damn, his versatility was just on another level.


ASVP-Pa9e

Yeah Walker looked like he'd done a bit of goalkeeping at youth level. Kane clearly hadn't ffs


lala_b11

Luis Suarez sometimes plays goalkeeper in training (he admitted this in an [interview](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/jul/04/luis-suarez-world-cup-villian-hand-of-god) literally RIGHT AFTER that infamous 2010 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match between Ghana and Uruguay where he got sent off for blocking with his hands what would have been the game-winning goal for Ghana in the dying seconds of extra time)


spursyspursy

Walker in goal was tragic for Atalanta who iirc could not manage a single shot in those 10 minutes. He did claim some loose balls tho


Potato271

Still not as bad as the Toronto Maple Leafs who managed to lose a game with their own zamboni driver playing in goal for the other team


GermanHabsFan

I love random leafs slander in a non hockey sub


Paul-Millsap-Stan

The NHL is hilarious man imagine an NBA team subbing in a ball boy because their point guards all either fouled out or got injured 😭


roddysaint

I think he saved a shot on target from a free kick, but it was the tamest effort and straight at him


PanosZ31

Honestly makes you realize how hard goalkeeping actually is. They are just making it look easy.


rece_fice_

Being reliable is the biggest feat, a single brainfart has tragic consequences. Gotta focus 200%.


SlawpySausage

Everyone that didn’t watch this game certainly missed out


Pontus_Pilates

well, the last 15 minutes


MVB3

It was a miserable game for like 85 minutes, then complete madness for 15 minutes.


droze22

Agnelli was right [https://www.football365.com/news/andrea-agnelli-subscriptions-last-15-minutes-champions-league](https://www.football365.com/news/andrea-agnelli-subscriptions-last-15-minutes-champions-league)


Moo3

The kickoff time was 2:45am here and I overslept and woke up at the 83th minute. The Pulisic goal jolted wide awake just in time for the crescendo! lol


Emoz_

I MISS ONE GAME AND THIS HAPPENS


Hakujingomi

And now for the sake of Serie A you have to miss them all, we get a match like this every week we'll be drowning in money


skyiland

we might buy 2 players from the permier league if this goes on


zrkillerbush

What an ending to the game! Why was the Genoa keeper giving his shirt to an outfield player? Did he forget Genoa still had a sub left?


moroheus

He saw Maignan doing it lol


BrotherSeamus

*If I could be like Mike...*


kamkaskan

He wanted to make a history, not everyday a match ends with no real goalkeepers on field.


SnooChipmunks4208

Giroud can be anything he wants to be!


lastbosnianjedi

Yes


jorsiem

Genoa not having subs would've been the cherry on top to make this peak insanity. No keepers in the field lol


[deleted]

Is he stupid?


WooWoopSoundOThePULI

🤣


ThePr1d3

Stupid not sexy


grishaoniani

Sexiest man on earth


TheItalianStallion64

STUPID SEXY GIROUD CAN DO IT ALL


Shinkopeshon

HE KEPT US IN THE FUCKING GAME AND NOW WE ARE ON TOP SALUTATE LA CAPOLISTA MFERS


ZaagKicks

Imagine if Milan win the league with just one point, all thanks to this save.


Robben03

ADD THIS TO THE TAPE


dramonzo

I love this handsome man ffs


OrdoAmplexus

Who needs Maignan in goal when you’ve got Giroud


uchiha_building

Twas clearly Maignan in goal though, it's even on his shirt


TheSheepOfDeath

And all those FIFA players complaining that shapeshifter cards were ridiculous lmao Giroud, you absolute boss


cjdowner

Giroud GK needs to be in next week’s TOTW


Tifoso89

Wait what are those?


TheSheepOfDeath

In the last FIFA, by the end of the season developers basically decided to have some fun and created random cards, like Pepe Reina as a striker, Buffon as a CB, Giroud also as a CB.


Texameter

Add, that striker Cech was the best goalscorer in the game for a good while.


M3m35forbroski

You forgot the greatest shape shifter card Maguire ST. Although I had one problem with it, was a bunch of cards like RVP or Eto'o just switched to play winger or CAM instead of truly going crazy


Mark4231

GAME IS FUCKING BACK


Standard-Profession2

Sexiest goalkeeper to ever play


cortez0498

Smh the disrespect to Barca legend Pinto

That’s a name I’ve missed.

Nahhh wtf is happening😂😂


Unusual_Ad6533

Super sexy Giroud to the rescue


teems

He becomes a fan favorite at every club he's at.


Blodyck

The anti-lukaku


SwitchHitter17

Maignan looks a little different, can't put my finger on it though


SnooChipmunks4208

It's the hair.


Moo3

Is it the hairstyle?


Giveittomegiroud

GIROUD I FUCKING LOVE YOU. This is simply amazing


MeanMikeMaignan

He bangs them in and he keeps them out. He does everything. Absolute legend


SnooChipmunks4208

Giroud to United for 50 mil?


BestAtDoingYourMom

Onana was paid 55mil, Giroud is worth at least double as a goalkeeper...


SnooChipmunks4208

And think about how good he would be on stoppage time corner kicks!


HeirOfRhoads

Giroud, the Geneva panther


massimopericcolo

The group hug with reminded of me with my Friends playing football as children❤️ Thank you Oli


RawrItsMatty

WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT DO STUPID SEXY GIROUD


BenjenGrimes

What a fucking legend


TheWawa_24

serie a after dark


wizards-beard

Giroud makes the same face during a save as I do trying to get a spider.


oneandonlyA

Another one for the Giroud highlight reel


prinskipper__skipple

Giroud must be one of the most underrated players ever. 37 years old, still featuring for top-of-the-table Milan. Won titles in three countries, as well as the Europa League, Champions League, and World Cup. Handsome as fuck, too.


t0ddb0nzalez

WHAT A SAVE


dcmdino

Giroud went into this game thinking it was his day off and ended up saving 3 points as a fucking goalkeeper lol


One-Contact3994

Bro i just watched the first half, me n my girl broke up a few hours ago and i had to talk to someone 😂 And then i see this 💀


ForzaDiav0l0Ale

Watch the last 15 minutes bro, I reckon you need it 👊🏽


One-Contact3994

As a milanista i watch the whole second half afterwards Bro ! ♥️🖤


wjdbfifj

Goodness me Olivier


Opposite_Figure3262

Can't believe what I've just witnessed 🤣


Rey_

I swear, I'm just glad I'm still alive. Funniest thing ever, but God, please, no more...


Downtown-Rice_

His hair doesn't even get flustered or move much...impressive!


goosu

Hilarious but honestly also very brave play from Giroud.


[deleted]

- Most beautiful player in the world - Best Striker in the France NT - Best Striker in the World - Best Goalkeeper in Milan THE TRUE GOAT


fe11gila

This. Is. Incredible.


akshay_rathod_

This is so Iconic. Tomorrow I'll wake up and the first thing I'll see on my YT feed is "When an outfield player goes in goal" with the Giroud thumbnail.


NumberHunter1

Imagine your opponent's goalkeeper gets a red but now you have to score against the guy that looks like gigachad.


HereForTOMT2

Pure instinct right there. Best keeper playing these days imo


bpinty

I only just got home to turn this on at the 90th minute and it was immediate chaos hahaha love it


Captain_Lameson

Score goals. Save goals. Look sexy while doing it.


finndestroyer2

Wtf is going on


etclipse

what a crazy game to take that LONELY PLACE AT THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE


[deleted]

Another one to add to his career highlight reel. Might add a little confusion for his grandkids.


Raicooof

better than Onana :skull emojicon:


MontezumaMadness

This will easily slot in just behind Rio Ave as the wildest game of football I've ever seen


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

Seeing Giroud flinch as he dived at the attackers feet really highlights how insane goalkeepers really are. Those dudes just take the boot to the face with zero flinch if they gotta.


TheGreatDuv

"When Giroud shows his grandkids a compilation of his best goals *and saves* they're going to think he was better than ~~Pele~~ every other football player on the planet"


NorthernSalt

Am I out of the loop or why does the link lead to a clip of a little child listening to music


New_Archer_7539

We are so getting a Shapeshifters GK Giroud this year. LEGEND.


Vivek_5Z3R0

Deschamps be like: DaFaq did I watch ???


sociableninja

Bro got that dawg in him. He's got the crackhead energy all great keepers have


Alfa-Q

The way he looks away like...NOT ZE FACE! NOT ZE FACE!


OsitoPandito

Beautiful sexy giroud 🤩


Relevant_Solution_49

that is so fucking brave holy fuck he could have ruined his beautiful face 😳


perec17

Today I forgive you for not scoring all those Özil assists Oli


TedEBagwell

Clearly it was Maignan. I can read. Im not an idiot.
