Argentine Panichelli remains unstoppable: he scored again against Lyon and dreams of a call-up from Scaloni.

Joaquín Panichelli continues to shine: the Argentine striker scored Racing Strasbourg's 1-0 lead against Nico Tagliafico's Lyon in Ligue 1. It was a header off a cross from Doué. He now has eight goals in nine matches in the tournament, where he is the top scorer.

The River Plate-born forward left Millonario for free on a free transfer to Alavés in Spain at the beginning of 2023. However, he was at his best at Mirandés in the Spanish second division, a club he joined on loan to gain playing time, where he scored 21 goals in 44 matches.

His strong performance in the Spanish second division caught the attention of the Strasbourg club, which paid over €16 million in the last transfer window. The transfer netted River Plate €3.2 million, which had retained 20% of his salary for a future sale.

With this goal, the Argentine reached 8 goals and is the top scorer in Ligue 1. Furthermore, his team is two points away from qualifying for the UEFA Europa League and three away from qualifying for the Champions League.

Before the end of the first half, Lyon equalized with an own goal from Doukouré, and at the end of the match, Moreira scored the second for Nicolás Tagliafico's team, leaving Barco and Panichelli without anything.
