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.

Liverpool agree £116m deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen
Liverpool are close to securing the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a British record transfer deal worth £116m. Liverpool saw two bids rejected by Leverkusen, who had initially put a £126m price tag on Wirtz, before accepting an initial £100m payment, plus bonuses of up to £16m. These bonuses are understood to be heavily tied to Liverpool winning major trophies with Wirtz playing a key role. Advertisement The fee surpasses the previous British record set by Moisés Caicedo's £115 million move to Chelsea and smashes Liverpool's own record transfer of £85 million for Darwin Núñez. It also eclipses the £75 million the club paid for Virgil van Dijk in 2018. Despite serious interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Wirtz opted to join the Merseyside club after being convinced by Arne Slot's vision for the future of the team. The 22-year-old, widely regarded as one of Europe's top young talents, is believed to be excited by the prospect of being a central figure in Slot's new era at Anfield. The Bundesliga Players' Player of the Season for 2024/25, Wirtz made his debut for Leverkusen at the age of 17, and has scored 57 goals in 197 games for the club. He helped them win the Bundesliga for the first time in 2024 and has scored seven goals in 31 appearances for Germany since making his national debut in 2021. Advertisement According to Paul Joyce, Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes led the club's negotiations with Leverkusen's Simon Rolfes, with talks intensifying over the past few weeks. David Ornstein reports the German international has signed a five-year contract running until June 2030, and is expected to undergo a medical on Merseyside next week once the transfer window officially opens. This move signals a bold new era at Anfield under Arne Slot. The Dutchman has wasted no time in stamping his authority on the squad. Wirtz will become Liverpool's second signing of the summer following the arrival of former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong. Both players chose Liverpool not just for the club's stature, but for the ambitious project being built under Slot's leadership. Wirtz's arrival is not just a statement of intent, it's potentially a foundation for the next great Liverpool side.

F1 champion Max Verstappen defiant despite looming suspension threat at Canadian Grand Prix
Associated Press Max Verstappen arrived at the Canadian Grand Prix a single point away from a one-race suspension following his collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix. The four-time reigning Formula 1 champion is adamant he will not change his driving style despite the warning hanging over him to be on his best behavior. His collision earned him three penalty points. 'I will always race hard," the Dutchman said in Montreal. Verstappen has a total of 11 penalty points over a rolling 12-month period, which puts him one point shy of the one-race ban. He will be in the clear after the Austrian Grand Prix at the end of the month when two points will drop off. Until then, he races in danger of suspension. Since the penalty system was introduced in 2014, only one driver has been suspended for reaching the 12-point limit — Kevin Magnussen, who missed last year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. In 2012, Romain Grosjean was suspended one race for causing a multi-car pile-up at the start of the Belgian GP. At the time, he was the first driver banned for a race since Michael Schumacher in 1994. Verstappen is not concerned about becoming the third driver suspended and remained defiant he won't change his approach. 'I cannot just back out of everything,' Verstappen said. 'I'm just going to race like I always do. I trust myself.' His approach has drawn criticism throughout his career as Verstappen has gone wheel-to-wheel with multiple drivers, including a tense 2021 in which he seemed to constantly be sparring with both Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. "What is not fair? I don't worry about it. I just come here to race, and I will always race hard, race how I think I should always race, and then we go on to the next race,' he said while acknowledging a suspension would be 'not ideal' for his struggling Red Bull team. He said in Canada he was 'not here to try and get a ban' and his racing style and penalty points is not that big of a deal to him and "maybe for you (the media), not for me. I don't think about it.' Verstappen did take some accountability for his incident with Russell in Spain. He wrote on social media the incident was 'not right' and 'shouldn't have happened.' Russell, of Mercedes, was taken aback by Verstappen's admission because it's uncharacteristic of the single-minded driver. 'I was a bit surprised to see him taking responsibility, because it's quite unlike him,' Russell said. "I want to believe that he didn't intentionally try and crash into me, because that would be pretty bonkers. "I think he just tried to show who was boss and put his elbows out, and got it wrong.' The two saw each other earlier this week in an airport, Russell said, but did not discuss the incident. The crash allowed Russell to move up in the finishing order to fourth in Spain. 'There's nothing from my side we need to talk about,' Russell said. 'Had I been taken out of the race, I'd be feeling very differently, for sure. But ultimately his actions benefited me and cost him. I should say 'thanks.'' His rivals were suspect of what Verstappen might do on the track considering how he's raced many of them over the years. 'I don't think anything really changes, because you don't know what he's going to do,' Norris said. 'There's no point trying to think of what to do differently. It's the same as normal. I think he's still going to fight. He's further behind in the points. If anything, he's going to fight more. 'There's no point trying to assume things or to just guess. When you're in a position of fighting him on the track, you can't just think, 'Ah, he's going to give me more space,' and (then) he doesn't, and then something happens.' Verstappen has seemed to concede any chance of Red Bull reclaiming the constructors' championship from McLaren, which unseated Red Bull last year. And, he seems to be giving up on a fifth driver championship as he trails both McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Norris. Verstappen is 49 points behind leader Piastri and 39 points behind Norris. Piastri is not concerned with Verstappen on the track. 'I'll just try and race how I always do. I think I normally try to race quite smart and keep myself out of trouble,' he said. "A good saying is that it's often better to still be in the race than to prove that you were right in the situation. So I'll try and keep that.' Verstappen, for his part, isn't worried about his competitors goading him into a potential penalty. 'I'll race how I want to race,' Verstappen said. 'It's not going to change anything.' Verstappen is the three-time defending Canadian GP winner. ___ AP auto racing: recommended
