Alexandre Lacazette and Clinton Mata, OL players @UEFA
Thanks to his goal this Thursday evening at Hoffenheim (2-2), Alexandre Lacazette became OL's co-best director in the European Cups with Juninho.
He would certainly have liked his goal in added time to give OL a victory. In a very complicated period for him sportingly, Alexandre Lacazette had pulled off a classy gesture to allow his team to take the lead at Hoffenheim (2-2). We were playing in the 93rd minute, and logically, that should have been synonymous with success. But a final German offensive spoiled everything less than two minutes later.
186th goal with OL
The center forward will therefore most likely be frustrated, but he will still be able to remember that this goal brings him a little closer to the legend. This is his 18th in one of the two European Cups he played with Olympique Lyonnais. A total which allows him to return to the level of a hero of this club, Juninho. The two men are at the top of the ranking of the best Rhone gunners on the continental scene. The next victorious strike from Lacazette, he will take sole control of this ranking.
With 186 directors on the clock in 362 posters with this tunic, the kid from Mermoz continues to write his story with OL. Only second, he is still far from the undisputed leader in the hierarchy of scorers, Fleury Di Nallo (222), but its footprint will remain significant whatever happens, from Gerland to Décines.
