You can tell he's in good form. After his brace against Club Brugge in the Champions League, Tijjani Reijnders also took centre stage in the league against Monza. Back from suspension, served against Napoli, our number 14 bagged the winner and secured the award for best on the pitch at the Brianteo.
It was a landslide for Tijji on the AC Milan Official App: more than 65% of AC Milan fans voted for him over other stand-out players (Maignan, Hernández and Pulisic) against the Brianzoli. This recognition goes beyond his decisive goal, it was a key moment to revitalise our spot in the standings and put a smile back on our faces after the defeat against Napoli earlier in the week.
The goal came on the rebound from a Morata header and demonstrates just how convincing Reijnders has been for the Rossoneri attack in 2024/25, always ready to get into the final third and trouble the opposition defence. All this plus the usual key contributions, managing the movement of Coach Fonseca's midfield.
This is the first time that the Dutch midfielder has scored in two consecutive games in an AC Milan shirt. Across the 90 minutes, Reijnders also racked up 44 positive passes, created two chances and made four recoveries. Keep it up, Tijji!
