Drift angle being the angle between heading and track, he had plenty of drift. I can’t answer for Airbus but one of Mr Boeing’s many approved x wind landing techniques is to land with drift applied up to max authorised x wind limit.

“Three methods of performing crosswind landings are presented. They are the ​
de-crab technique (with removal of crab in flare), touchdown in a crab, and the ​
sideslip technique.“. Cut and paste from FCTM. So, no it’s not pretty but it works!
