After the big derby against Inter, Milan also wins in the league, doing so by beating Venezia 2-0 thanks to goals from Pulisic and Bebote Santi Gimenez, who returned to scoring after two months of drought. Conceiçao’s Rossoneri do not play a spectacular game, but they manage the advantage gained in the first half well, suffering a bit in the second half before Gimenez’s definitive goal in injury time. The praise, however—we must admit—is all for Reijnders and Pulisic, so far great driving forces of Milan this season.
Pulisic and Reijnders, scary in terms of goals and assists!
A season full of great stuff. Hard to say anything else. Yes, the two Rossoneri remain the best in terms of performance in Milan’s squad. Against Venezia, Pulisic scored his 16th goal of the season, his tenth in Serie A. It’s a fairytale the American is living at Milan: in fact, he is only one of three players in Serie A to have been involved in at least 50 goals (31 goals and 19 assists) across all competitions over the past two seasons, along with Ademola Lookman (50) and Lautaro Martínez (54).
Same story for Reijnders, decisive with the assist to Gimenez. The Dutch midfielder is one of the best in Europe in his role (speaking of what some Turk wearing number 20 used to say). Reijnders is humble, strong, dynamic, of enormous quality: definitely the extra man of this team, no question about it, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
A new particular record
Yes, because before Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders (both with 10 goals in this league season), the last time two Milan midfielders reached double digits in goals in a single Serie A campaign was in 1972/73: Alberto Bigon (10) and Gianni Rivera (17) in that case. A curious record but certainly one with great impact for Chris and Tijjani, today Milan’s gold.
