Lillestrøm and Union before the January finale

Leverkusen closes the home schedule

Lacazette's goals and Lopes's appearances in Lyon's archive

UEFA's Lyon competition archive lists Alexandre Lacazette with 14 goals and Anthony Lopes with 40 appearances. The two records highlight different parts of the club's Europa League history: a leading scorer and a long-serving goalkeeper.

Lyon's 2016/17 semi-final remains a deeper finish than the 2024/25 quarter-final and 2025/26 round-of-16 campaigns. Those seasons provide the historical background to the Palace home opener and this year's later European dates; the archive's player totals do not describe the current squad or this season's individual statistics.
