Panichelli’s Brace at PSG Lifts Strasbourg Forward to Ligue 1 Lead

The 23-year-old Argentine is swiftly vindicating Strasbourg’s €20 million summer gamble after rebuilding from a 2023 knee injury.

Overview

  • Strasbourg’s 3-3 draw at the Parc des Princes featured Panichelli’s two goals plus a team-high 55 touches with five shots and three on target.
  • The double moved him to seven goals in eight league matches, making him the provisional top scorer in Ligue 1.
  • Foot Mercato named him man of the match with a rating of 8, and coach Liam Rosenior praised the performance and his mentality.
  • Strasbourg signed him from Deportivo Alavés on a five-year deal worth about €20 million including bonuses after a 21-goal, 8-assist loan season at Mirandés.
  • Attention is widening, with Argentine social media urging national-team consideration and an Italian report saying AC Milan is monitoring him without an official approach.
