OL's second top scorer in European Cups, Alexandre Lacazette is only one step away from matching Juninho. Which would be one more mark left by the striker in the history of the club.
What trace will Alexander leave? Lacazette in the history of OL? Before knowing the definitive answer, we will have to wait until the end of the center forward's career, but it will certainly be important. Especially since beyond the collective titles (Coupe de France and Trophées des champions in 2012), he is one of the most capped with 361 matches under his belt (10th). But the former Arsenal player still has a few records to go for.
With 185 achievements to his credit, he is still far from Fleury's 222 Di Nallo. It is above all the status of the club's top European scorer that he is best able to recover. On the continental scene, he has a record of 17 goals, which ranks him second in the hierarchy, tied with Bafétimbi gomisand just behind Juninho (18). With only one more pawn in his pocket, the Brazilian midfielder is very close to being joined by the 33-year-old striker.
Two goals in the Europa League this season
This season in the Europa League, Lacazette scored twice against Glasgow Rangers (1-4), but remained silent against Olympiakos (2-0) and Besiktas (0-1). Although he is not going through the best period of his career, he undoubtedly has the ability to seize the number one spot. He has at least five games left in the league phase to achieve this. First match this Thursday at Hoffenheim (9 p.m.), even if it is unlikely that the Lyon captain will start.
