In the world of football, there is no shortage of talent and ambition. One player who has made a name for himself in recent years is French striker Ousmane Dembélé. However, it seems that Lyon's forward Antoine Griezmann may have stolen his thunder this season.

Dembélé has been a key figure for Barcelona in recent seasons, but he has struggled to replicate his form at the Nou Camp. This year, however, things have taken a different turn as he has been playing for Lyon, where he has been in top form.

The 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in 19 league games so far this season, which puts him on track to match or even surpass last year's record of 27 goals. His performances have not gone unnoticed either, as he has been named the Ligue 1 Player of the Month twice already this season.

Meanwhile, Lyon's other star striker, Alexandre Lacazette, has also been in great form. The 28-year-old has scored 24 goals in 25 matches this season, which is more than any other player in the league. He has also helped Lyon to climb up to second place in the table, just one point behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

While Dembélé and Lacazette are undoubtedly two of the best strikers in France, they have both had their ups and downs in recent seasons. Lacazette was linked with a move away from Lyon earlier this year, but he has since signed a new contract with the club. Meanwhile, Dembélé has faced criticism over his fitness levels and lack of consistency.

However, despite these challenges, Lacazette and Lacazette have shown that they can still be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to scoring goals. And with the likes of Griezmann and Dembélé also performing well, it looks like Lyon could be a team to watch out for in the coming seasons.
