Lacazette on first Arsenal season: Everything so different

Alexandre Lacazette says he's satisfied with his first season at Arsenal.

The former Lyon striker endured a scoring drought midway through the campaign, though is now back amongst the goals.

Lacazette told JDD: "Whatever we do, there will always be criticism.

"Ronaldo and Messi are extraterrestrials, and yet some find fault. My season? It's really different from what I lived in Lyon. It has nothing to do with the French championship, without disrespecting it. Intensity, the way of thinking. You have to live it to understand. It surprised me.

"However, I was warned, I had already faced English teams. But to see that every weekend is also difficult."
