In Milan’s complicated season, one of the few undoubtedly positive notes is Tijjani Reijnders, who, with the goal scored on Friday evening in Udine, has reached 14 goals this season across all competitions. The Dutchman, Milan’s second-best scorer this season behind Pulisic (15 goals), has equaled Kessie’s record among Rossoneri midfielders, but unlike what the Ivorian used to do, he doesn’t take penalties, as relayed via Tuttosport who also shared the following headline:
"Reijnders bursts into the ranks of Europe's greats."
The former AZ Alkmaar player, who is increasingly proving to be a key man for Milan, is among the best midfielders in Europe, and only two have scored more than him so far: Musiala of Bayern Munich (18) and Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United (16).
Reijnders like van Basten
Tijjani, with 10 goals in Serie A, has become the second Dutch player to reach double digits with Milan in a single league campaign after van Basten (five times: 1988/89, 1989/90, 1990/91, 1991/92, and 1992/93).
