Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has hinted at tension with France teammate Kylian Mbappe.

Their final Euros warm-up game saw them beat Bulgaria 3-0 on Tuesday night.

Giroud came off the bench to score twice for the world champions, taking his tally to 46 goals for Les Bleus – now just five behind France's all-time top scorer Thierry Henry.

But in the second-half it looked as if Mbappe was deliberately trying not to find his team-mate.

After the contest Giroud appeared to take a swipe at the PSG star, saying: “Sometimes you make the runs and ball is not arriving. Perhaps we could have found each other better, there it is."
