The feat Olivier Giroud achieved that only Lionel Messi has managed this season

Olivier Giroud scored against Slavia Prague at Stamford Bridge in the Europa League quarter-final second leg clash and joined Lionel Messi as one of only two players to reach the ten-goal mark in Europe this season. The World Cup winner is the first Chelsea player to score 10 goals in a single season in European competitions. Giroud has scored 10 goals and created three assists in his 11 appearances for the Blues. The France international is only the third player to reach double figures in a UEFA Europa League season. "We started well with good intentions," he said after the game, which Chelsea eventually won 4-3 to progress 5-3 on aggregate. "We have been efficient up front and solid at the back but we dropped our intensity after the break. This team never gives up and the last 10 minutes was a box to box. It was a good fight and now we are in the semi-finals."
