Does Scaloni note it? Panichelli scored again for Racing Strasbourg, which defeated Lyon

Joaquín Panichelli scored his 13th goal of the season for Racing Strasbourg in a match against Lyon, bolstering his chances of being called up by the Argentine national team amid injuries to key players.

Joaquín Panichelli continues to make a strong case for his inclusion in the Argentine national team by consistently scoring goals for Racing Strasbourg. With the injury of Lautaro Martínez and some struggling players in the current squad, Panichelli aims to capture the attention of national team coach Lionel Scaloni. In a recent match, he netted his 13th goal as Racing Strasbourg claimed a significant 3-1 victory over Lyon.

In this match, Panichelli scored once again from the penalty spot, a method he had previously utilized in his effort against Marseille. His goal was instrumental in solidifying his team’s lead and ultimately securing the victory against Lyon, which saw Nicolás Tagliafico return to the pitch post-injury. The Argentine forward’s performances have become increasingly vital for Racing, especially during this crunch time when many players in the national framework are underperforming.

Furthermore, Panichelli's contributions extend beyond just scoring, as he plays a crucial role in the team dynamics and strategy. This was evident during the match against Lyon, where another Argentine player, Colo Barco, was also involved in generating scoring opportunities. The Argentine duo is showing promise, and their combined efforts could make a substantial impact for the national team going forward, particularly as coach Scaloni is in need of fresh talent following recent injuries among key squad members.
