In a captivating 1-1 draw between PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal in the Champions League, the spotlight was firmly on USMNT star Malik Tillman, whose stellar performance drew effusive praise from PSV boss Peter Bosz. Despite Arsenal fielding a much-changed lineup, PSV held their ground, and Tillman, currently on loan from Bayern Munich, stood out as one of the standout performers of the night.

In the aftermath of the match, Bosz couldn't hide his admiration for Tillman, going as far as describing his display as “scarily good.” The 21-year-old attacking midfielder, who previously showcased his talent during a loan spell with Rangers, has been making waves in the Dutch top-flight. His performance against Arsenal served as a testament to his prowess, leaving a lasting impact on the field. Bosz, during his post-match press conference, remarked, “I almost found Tillman scary, so good. I really enjoyed sitting on the bench. I really enjoyed playing that. That's just beautiful to watch.”
