MILAN, Italy -- Once again, Christian Pulisic finds himself with something to prove at AC Milan. Maybe it shouldn't be this way.
He leads the Rossoneri in goal contributions with 12, after notching 20 last season behind only Olivier Giroud, who left for Major League Soccer in 2024. Off the ball, the U.S. international gets nothing but praise for his work rate and application. His former assistant coach calls him "one of the best professionals I worked with in my career."
Yet it was Pulisic who was the first player taken off the pitch on Tuesday night when Milan crashed out of the Champions League against Feyenoord.
