Guardiola Delighted With ‘special’ Reijnders Display In City’s Win Over Palermo

By IANS News August 10, 2025 • 09:46 AM View: 58

FIFA Club World Cup: Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on new signing Tijjani Reijnders after the Dutch midfielder scored two second-half goals as Manchester City beat Palermo 3-0 in Sicily.

Reijnders joined City from AC Milan in June, before going on to play three times for Guardiola’s side at the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA and he was the star of the show in Sicily as City ran out comfortable winners against their City Football Group sister club.

The 27-year-old is comfortable operating in a deep midfield role, but it’s in the attacking position he played against Palermo that Pep feels he has ‘special’ qualities.
