Tijjani Reijnders was the standout player of the evening, thanks to his brace that allowed Milan to get the better of Club Brugge and secure their first three points in the Champions League.
Here are his words after the match:
"I'm dreaming," he said to Sky Sport Italia. "I had been waiting for my first Champions League goals, I was expecting one and I got two, even better. In the first half, we were not up to the task, we played a bit too slowly, but when they went down to ten men, we found more space. But we really woke up after their equaliser."
What was Milan lacking?
"In the first half, we lacked intensity, but the substitutes brought the energy we were missing, with two very important assists."
On conceding a goal while having a numerical advantage. Reijnders said:
"Hard to say, for sure we need to rewatch and analyse the game. It's not acceptable to concede a goal while in numerical superiority; it can't happen again."
On his preferred position?
"For me, it's about the same. Today I played a bit further forward and especially looked for more space in front of the goal. In general, I like playing a bit deeper because it gets me more involved in the game."
How do you see Rafael Leao?
"There are many leaders in this group. We need everyone, and everyone has to lead in their own way. Everyone has to contribute, and even tonight, the players who came off the bench made the difference."
