Wonderful own goal this.People love bringing up that Giroud played with better players. But no one considers the fact Giroud played against better opposition in the Champions league, whereas Lacazette has played against farmers year after year in the Europe league that inflate his goalscoring stats .
At the end of the day Giroud was a better player for this club, as well as a better player in general.
In fact, Lacazette has barely been played against farmers in the EL as we rotate heavily: 8/10 goals came in the knockouts.
In 2017/18 all his EL goals came in the knockouts against teams who were originally in the Champions League: CSKA Moscow and Atletico Madrid.
In 2018/19 all but one of his EL goals came in the knockouts against teams who were originally in the Champions League: Napoli and Valencia.
In 2019/20 all but one of his EL goals came in the knockouts against a team who were originally in the Champions League: Olympiacos.
Maybe check your facts next time?
