Impressive debut of Tijjani Reijnders with Manchester City

Tijjani Reijnders made an impressive debut with Manchester City in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Group G match in Philadelphia.

The Maluku-blooded midfielder — who recently joined from AC Milan for a transfer fee of 70 million euros — started in The Citizens’ 4-1-4-1 formation.

Reijnders‘ performance as defensive midfielder was so captivating — that coach Pep Guardiola decided to keep him on the field throughout the match.

The elder brother of Indonesian national team player, Eliano Reijnders, wore jersey number 4 — marking a change from the red uniforms he previously wore with AC Milan and AZ Alkmaar.
