Pulisic has revived his club career with AC Milan after a disappointing season with Chelsea last year.
The American was an integral part of the team's UEFA Champions League winning side in 2021. Despite this, he was never able to truly establish himself as a mainstay.
Fortunately, his four-year stint in England is now behind him. Manager Stefano Pioli showed Pulisic the kind of belief he showed in London. In fact, it has benefited him in Serie A.
Pioli could be released at the end of the season, which is bad news for the winger. The 58-year-old faces the fallout from the club's failure to win any major trophies this summer, which is likely to lead to changes on the bench.
The 25-year-old is aiming to play a key role in the 2024-25 season, with the Rossoneri ending the season with just two games remaining. The new coach will appreciate his many skills.
Milan's savior boasts incredible numbers
Christian Pulisic was once again the hero of Milan's 5-1 victory over Cagliari at the San Siro this weekend as they regained their winning spirit.
Inter won their 20th league title in the Milan derby, with the San Siro side looking to overcome the disappointment of losing to Inter.
The USMNT star scored twice for the Rossoneri for the first time against Claudio Ranieri's side. He had a great first season at the club, scoring 15 goals and adding 9 assists in all competitions (Serie A, Champions League, Europa League). His influence is quantifiable, but his adaptability and quality give Stefano more options for his Pioli.
Depending on the situation, Pulisic could play on the left or right wing or as an attacking midfielder. The American scored twice against Cagliari, taking his tally to 12 goals in Serie A. Thus, he briefly surpassed other forwards such as Romelu Lukaku, Duvan Zapata and Joshua Zirkzee.
He also made history with 12 goals this season, becoming the first Milan midfielder to score one (excluding penalties). In the 2005-06 season, Kaka scored 11 goals, becoming the last player to achieve that feat.
According to , that means he broke a club record that had stood for 18 years.
A glimpse of 2011 champions Milan
The former Chelsea player has proven his worth and made a huge impact in each new appearance. The fact that he has scored seven goals with his right foot, which is his strongest foot, is an interesting statistic. However, despite his “weak” left foot, he has scored eight goals with it.
The US captain can do magic with either foot and is lightning fast. He now scores as many goals as Robinho. The Brazilian, who was playing for the Italian national team, scored 15 goals in his first season and helped his team win their 18th Scudetto under coach Massimiliano Allegri.
