MN: A 16-goal season for club and country – magical moment for Reijnders continues
MN: A 16-goal season for club and country – magical moment for Reijnders continues
Tijani Reijnders' magic moment seems to be never-ending, and he recorded another important contribution with his national team last night.
As MilanNews writes, Reijnders is having an incredible season with Milan, proving to be the best player of the season together with Christian Pulisic. What is most surprising about Tiji is the sensational scoring streak he has shown this year, with 13 goals for the Rossoneri.

Furthermore, all the goals have come from open play, yet another proof of the leap in quality made by the Dutchman. Indeed, last year too – when he scored four – Reijnders easily created goal-scoring opportunities, but struggled to find the net due to a lack of clarity and concreteness.
Last night, he got his fourth goal for the Netherlands and his 16th this season for club and country. It was a lovely bit of pass-and-move football involving Jeremie Frimpong, who cut the ball back to Reijnders who then unleashed a precise and powerful left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
The season at team level is not going very well for Milan and this is clear for all to see. If there are two positive notes, however, they are definitely Reijnders and Pulisic, without whom the campaign would probably have been even worse.
It is the kind of form that has drawn links with top clubs like Barcelona and Manchester City. However, fans do not need to worry as it was announced earlier this month that Reijnders had renewed his contract with Milan until 2030.

They sre planning for a major change in the squad and few more incomings are expected. Manchester City have confirmed their fourth signing of the summer, with Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders joining the Premier League champions from AC Milan. The move marks another significant step in Pep Guardiola's ongoing squad revamp, as the club looks to refresh its midfield options ahead of the 2025/26 season. Reijnders, who impressed in Serie A and with the Netherlands national team, adds energy, technical quality, and versatility to City's engine room. His arrival comes as part of an aggressive transfer strategy from the Cityzens, who have already spent close to €180 million in the summer window — which only opened 10 days ago. This early flurry of activity underlines the club's intent to maintain their domestic dominance while also pushing harder for European success. With departures looming and several first-team roles potentially up for grabs, City are expected to remain active in the market.

Sky's Premier League viewing figures drop 10%
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk became the first Dutchman to captain a side to the Premier League title [Getty Images] Premier League television viewing figures on Sky Sports were down 10% last season, with the lack of jeopardy in the title race and relegation believed to be behind the reduction. It showed 128 games last season, while TNT Sports, which broadcasted 52 matches, had a 17% reduction in its year-on-year figures. Advertisement The drop in Sky viewers comes after two record-breaking seasons in 2022-23 and 2023-24, where Manchester City beat Arsenal to the title - the latter on the final day. Liverpool wrapped up the title on 27 April this season, while Ipswich Town followed Southampton and Leicester City in being relegated to the Championship the day before. While Sky says numbers tracked closely with the 2023-24 season, there was a drop off over the final six weeks of the campaign. That has been blamed on the title race being settled early and no compelling relegation narrative at the other end of the table. It is also thought Sky's new EFL deal, in which more than 1,000 games are broadcast a season, could have impacted Premier League figures with audiences offered more options. Advertisement Next season will see even more live Premier League matches on TV when a new record £6.7bn domestic broadcast deal starts. Sky will show at least 215 top-flight games live, up from 128, including all games moved to Sundays because of clubs' involvement in European competitions. TNT Sports will retain its 52 games, including the Saturday 12:30 kick-offs and two midweek rounds, but there will be no Amazon Prime coverage for the first time in six years. A report last month said live sport, including football, was being pirated on an "industrial scale" by people illegally streaming. Bosses of the major rights holders, Sky and DAZN, have previously warned piracy is causing a financial crisis in the broadcast industry. Advertisement The increasing cost of rights deals results in higher prices for fans at home, especially if they choose to pay for multiple services to watch their team play. In April, Sky said Rory McIlroy's win at the Masters was the most-watched day in Sky Sports history, with a record peak audience of 1.85 million viewers - 37% of total TV viewership.
