Everyone at Olympique Lyonnais is expecting something special from Alexandre Lacazette in their UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg against Ajax on Thursday night. It will have to be a breathtaking feat, with his side trailing 4-1 from the first match in Amsterdam on the back of a calamitous defensive display.
Many at the club feel that, tough task though it is, it is a question of destiny with a summer move—to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Liverpool oft-mooted destinations, or to La Liga, with Atletico Madrid strongly linked with a deal, as per Cadena Cope (in Spanish)—seeming closer than ever.
