“When you want to win it is always a mix of skill and mental quality, technique and tactical,” said Giroud.

“It’s a mixture of different things. You cannot win the league without mental strength so obviously we need that. I think we have got it in our squad, the team is fantastic, like our understanding between us together. I think we can do well with that."
