Despite some missed opportunities by Alexandre Lacazette against the Auxerre team, Olympique Lyonnais confirmed its formidable offensive effectiveness by scoring at least two goals in this match. This performance is part of an impressive series: OL found the way to the nets at least twice in each of their last thirteen official games, a remarkable statistic that shows remarkable consistency. This performance propels Lyonnais to the top of French football, surpassing the previous series established by Paris Saint-Germain under the direction of Thomas Tuchel between November 2019 and January 2020, as highlighted by the specialist account X Stats Foot.
The Lyon exploit is of particular importance because it represents the first occurrence of such a performance for Olympique Lyonnais since the 1950s, thus highlighting the rarity and value of this feat. Statistically speaking, the team led by Paulo Fonseca has a remarkable offensive record, having scored 27 goals in just 10 Ligue 1 matches. Only Paris Saint-Germain, with 27 goals in 9 games, has a comparable performance, placing OL among the best teams in the championship in terms of offensive production.
As Olympique Lyonnais prepares for a crucial trip to Old Trafford for a Europa League match, it is undeniable that the players of Paulo Fonseca aspire to continue this momentum and consolidate their exceptional offensive form. This ability to score regularly and in large quantities is a major asset for the team and offers it real prospects for success in future competitions.
