Leading scorer Alexandre Lacazette was rewarded for an outstanding season with Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday when he was named the Ligue 1 player of the year by his peers at the Trophées UNFP awards in Paris.
Lacazette, who has scored 27 goals in Ligue 1 this season, the most by a Lyon player in top-flight history, pipped Paris Saint-Germain trio Javier Pastore, Marco Verratti and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the final voting, denying the Swede a third consecutive player of the year gong in an award voted for by members of France's professional players union.
"It is an honour, a boyhood dream come true," said Lacazette, who headed a Lyon one-two of the biggest prizes with his colleague Nabil Fekir scooping the young player of the year award after a sensational breakthrough campaign.
Meanwhile, the coach of the year award went to Paris Saint-Germain's Laurent Blanc, a day after the capital club secured their third consecutive Ligue 1 title. It is the second time Blanc has won the award - he also won it when in charge of Girondins de Bordeaux in 2008.
