Ex-Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette burgled as thieves steal cash and jewellery
Alexandre Lacazette was saying farewell to his boyhood club Lyon and had a send-off to remember with two goals against Angers, but the game was bittersweet as his home was been raided by robbers while he was playing Former Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette was the victim of a burglary while playing his final game for Lyon this weekend, according to reports in France. The 33-year-old had a farewell to remember as he netted a brace in a 2-0 win over Angers, first from the penalty spot before tapping home a second. It was the perfect way for Lacazette to say goodbye as he was lauded by fans, but his special night was quickly marred as he later discovered his home had been raided by robbers while he was on the pitch. French outlet Le Progres claims Lacazette's house was broken into around half an hour after Lyon's game kicked off at 9pm local time, with two robbers involved. The house was empty at the time and the men managed to get inside through a service shaft. The thieves are said to have accessed a safe inside his property in Lyon's fifth district and taken jewellery and cash - with the total value of good stolen said to be worth tens of thousands of pounds. The two men were captured on CCTV footage after the break-in was reported at around 1.30am in the morning, with police now launching an investigation. Footballers in Lyon have often been victims of burglary after stars Karl Toko-Ekambi, Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Dejan Lovren had their homes raided in 2022. The following year, left-back Nicolas Tagliafico saw his garden broken into by thieves before entering his home. Lacazette's own experience comes during what should be a happy time as he reflects on making 391 appearances for Lyon, scoring 201 times across two spells. He started his career with the club as a teenager before joining Arsenal in 2017, where he scored 71 goals in 206 games before returning to Lyon in 2022. At his last game, fans honoured him with a huge tifo of the player at the Angers game before his team-mates gave him a guard of honour - clapping as he walked under an arch that read "Merci Alex". Lacazette will leave as a free agent and has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League after reportedly rejecting their advances last summer.

Lacazette's farewell to Lyon marred by burglary
LYON: Alexandre Lacazette's joy at scoring a double in his final Ligue 1 match for Lyon evaporated when the club captain learned his house had been burgled during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Angers. The former France international striker – whose double took his total for the club to 201 in two spells and secured European football for them next term – had €50,000 (RM240,000) and luxury goods stolen from his home in Lyon, a police source told AFP. The burglar alarm went off at 2130 local time (1930GMT) and three individuals were caught on camera gaining access to the premises via ventilation ducts. However, it took another four hours for the facts to be discovered according to local newspaper Le Progres. The police source told AFP that leather goods and a car key had been stolen, though, the vehicle had not been taken. Lacazette, who turns 34 on May 28, scored his 201 goals in 391 matches – either side of a five year stay with Arsenal – and is second on the list of all-time scorers for Lyon behind Fleury Di Nallo, who garnered 222 in 494 games from 1960 to 1974. - AFP

Alexandre Lacazette's home burgled during Lyon farewell appearance
Alexandre Lacazette (33) was reportedly the victim of a burglary on Saturday night while making his final appearance Lyon at the Groupama Stadium. According to Le Progrès, two intruders broke into the OL captain's apartment in Lyon's 5th district while he was on the pitch scoring his 200th and 201st goals for the club in a 2-1 win over Angers. The break-in occurred around 21:30 local time and went unnoticed until approximately 01:30 in the early hours of Sunday. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the suspects entering via a technical duct. Once inside, they accessed a safe and made off with a significant haul, including cash, jewellery, and luxury leather goods. The estimated value of the stolen items is said to be in the tens of thousands of euros. Lyon police's technical and forensic units have since launched an investigation. Advertisement This incident adds to a long list of similar cases involving Lyon players in recent years. Just last December, Nicolas Tagliafico's garden was breached by intruders, while Croatian defender Dejan Lovren was targeted in an attempted break-in in October 2023. In late 2022, Karl Toko-Ekambi, Jeff Reine-Adélaïde, and others were all victims of theft while playing matches. The most serious recent case came in December 2024, when Georges Mikautadze was held at gunpoint at his home. The masked perpetrators escaped with valuables worth an estimated €250,000.
