A Renewed Confidence
After a season hindered by injury struggles, Tilio’s return to form is a welcome sight for Melbourne City fans. His recent performances have been full of energy, flair, and a renewed confidence that was missing during his time at Celtic. Tilio’s ability to produce moments of magic on the pitch has reignited discussions about his potential future at both club and international level. With the Socceroos’ upcoming World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, his impressive displays are certainly giving national team boss Tony Popovic plenty to think about.
Looking Ahead

If he can maintain his current form, Tilio could return to Celtic in the summer with a newfound sense of confidence and a point to prove. For now, the focus is on helping Melbourne City secure success in the A-League, and Tilio’s recent resurgence is undoubtedly a positive for both him and his club.
