With the defeat against Marseille at home last week (1-2), Lyon are painfully away from Europe. Six rounds before the end, the former seven-time consecutive champion of France sits only seventh in the table, but it is still possible to reach the fifth-placed Lille, who are running away by six points, or Rennais, who have three less.Tonight (10 PM EAT) Lyon are visiting the struggling Strasbourg, a team that has two triumphs in a row in the championship and has escaped from the danger zone. Angers are already in the second division, Ajaccio and Troyes are on the threshold of Ligue 2, while Nantes, Strasbourg, Brest and Auxerre are only one point apart, and one of those four teams will play in the French second tier next season.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The first star of Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette, the scorer of 20 goals this season, returned to the club last summer after five years at Arsenal, says that his team is not giving up on Europe. He made those who believed that he could no longer play at the top level question themselves severely.”Many thought I was done. They told me that I would not be able to succeed, that I would make a mistake. I wanted to show Lyon that they were right to invite me back,” said Lacazette, who scored three goals in the previous three matches.🇫🇷 Alexandre Lacazette’s stats for Lyon in Ligue 1 this season:⚽️ 20 goals🎯 4 assists 👟 43 Shots on target✅ 39 Chances created 📈 57.1 % dribble success ⭐️ 7.51 average rating He just keeps going! 👏 pic.twitter.com/ZiWc36HaVI— Stats24 (@_Stats24) April 28, 2023 Argentinian Tagliafico has recovered from injury and will play for Laurent Blanc’s team.
