Tijjani Reijnders and Christian Pulisic are the two players without whom Milan, at this moment, would have been completely overwhelmed by events. The Dutchman’s outstanding season—who, incidentally, recently signed his contract renewal—has not gone unnoticed.
Alongside the American, the two are Milan’s top scorers in Serie A, with the No. 14 just one goal away from reaching double digits in the league. But that’s not all. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Reijnders is chasing another record: Kessié’s. The ranking of Milan’s most prolific midfielders over the last ten years sees the former No. 79 at the top, followed closely by the Dutchman, who is breathing down his neck.
Franck Kessié scored 13 goals in the 2020-21 season, the one in which Milan secured their historic return to the Champions League. Now Reijnders, currently on nine, is chasing him—and perhaps, why not, achieving what would be nothing short of a miracle: a top-four finish?
