The upcoming Coppa Italia clash between Milan and Lazio will also see an on-pitch duel between Olivier Giroud and Ciro Immobile.
As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 31-year-old Italian striker is continuing to drive the Biancocelesti forward this season, having scored 18 league goals in 20 games this season, and it’s increasingly becoming a one man show in Rome.

Immobile is now ready to face off against Giroud, who was close to a move to Lazio in January 2020, in the upcoming Coppa Italia quarter-final clash. The Italian striker is keen to win more silverware and has fond memories of the cup, winning in the 2018/19 season.
