In a dramatic European match, Alexandre Lacazette scored a crucial penalty at the 110th minute, bringing the score to 4-2 in favour of Olympique Lyonnais against Manchester United. This goal, which initially seemed to offer the qualification to his team, allowed the attacker to register in the history of the club by surpassing Juninho and thus becoming the best OL scorer on the European scene, with a total of 19 achievements. However, the moment was bitter, as Olympique Lyonnais finally bowed down, leaving Lacazette and her teammates overwhelmed by disappointment and inconsolation in the face of a rock scenario, recalling the difficulties encountered the previous season.

The defeat caused a real wave of sadness among the players, visible in the tears of Alexandre Lacazette during the ovation of the Lyon fans who came in numbers to Manchester. The atmosphere of resignation suggested a possible end of European career for the attacker, fueling speculation about his future in the club. When asked about the question, coach Paulo Fonseca skipped the answer, leaving a certain mystery as to the continuation of Lacazette’s career in Lyon.

Despite this uncertainty, the technical staff seems confident about Alexandre Lacazette’s contribution until the end of the season. Recognizing his experience and ability to play a decisive role, Paulo Fonseca said he remained calm in the face of this situation. The record set, although bitter, remains a consecration for the attacker, whose European future with Olympique Lyonnais remains an open question.
