"There are players who can read a game. And there are players who can sense a game. Momoko Tanikawa can do both. Watching her brush her foot over the ball, luring it, turning, accelerating, is like a little moment of art in a game in progress. You realise straight away: she doesn't need time to show off her skills. Her talent is right there for you to see, in every first touch, in every movement that looks easy but is incredibly precise."
"She moved to Munich in 2024 - with a clear plan. A loan spell at Rosengård was intended to help her mature physically and mentally. There, she exploded: 16 league goals, many of them typical of Momo: technically well prepared, cleverly finished, surprisingly inventive. Back in Munich, she hardly needed any time to settle in. Her performance in the cup against Eintracht Frankfurt, a nerve-wracking game, came to symbolise her impact: courageous, strong on the dribble, decisive. A close-knit affair that she opened up."
