Alexandre Lacazette’s story with the blue jersey ended in defeat in the final of the Olympic Games in Paris. At the end of a completely crazy match, which ultimately went in Spain’s favour (5-3 aet), as at the Euro, the Lyon striker confirmed that this was indeed his last match with the French team.

It remains my best silver medal (smile). I have lost a few finals in my career… Let’s say that it is the least bad. I remember the adventure. The fact that I was able to wear the blue jersey. The atmosphere between us. It will remain for lifeLacazette said at a press conference, before continuing. This match is one of the most beautiful matches of my career emotionally speaking. It was my last match with the blue jersey. The competitor in me is disappointed. We wanted gold from the beginning. We were able to bring back a medal for Team France and generate excitement in the stadiums. We have to stay positive, but it’s too early to realize it.» As a reminder, the 33-year-old player has not been called up to the A team since November 2017, and a double against Germany.
