Christian Pulisic is savoring a dream season, solidifying his role as a pivotal player within the Italian football landscape. His stats speak volumes: 7 remarkable goals and 6 pivotal assists have marked his journey as the American winger dons the colors of AC Milan, having made the switch from Chelsea to Milan last summer for a promising €20 million.
His impact on Milan’s Serie A campaign has been nothing short of exceptional. With 6 goals and 5 assists registered in 17 Serie A appearances, Pulisic has been a formidable force on the pitch. His overall contribution to the Italian club amounts to 7 goals and 6 assists in 24 appearances across various competitions.
Operating from the right wing, the 25-year-old Pulisic has seamlessly integrated into Milan’s setup, establishing a potent partnership with the seasoned Olivier Giroud, who has spearheaded the team’s attacking front this season. In Milan’s recent clash against Empoli, Pulisic’s assist to Xhaka Traore’s decisive goal cemented the Rossoneri’s victory and secured their position in the top 3 of Serie A.
This exceptional form has become a pattern for Pulisic, showcasing his consistency in Milan’s recent Serie A fixtures. Out of the last six games, the American winger has contributed either with a goal or an assist in five, displaying his impact and reliability. His goal against Frosinone (3-1) and vital assists against Atalanta (2-3) and Monza (3-0) underline his crucial contributions.
A pivotal moment came in the match against Sassuolo, where Pulisic’s sole goal secured a crucial victory for Milan, while his recent assist against Empoli emphasized his playmaking abilities. Notably, in the match against Salernitana (2-2), Pulisic was the sole game where he didn’t register a goal or assist.
In the earlier part of the season, his influence was pronounced with goals against Bologna (2-0), Torino (4-1), Lazio (2-0), and Genoa (1-0), while he provided assists against Cagliari (3-1) and Napoli (2-2). This season, the 25-year-old winger has been directly involved in goals in almost every Serie A fixture, missing out on contributions in only six games.
Beyond his Serie A exploits, Pulisic has left an imprint in other competitions. His goal in the Champions League fixture against Newcastle secured a remarkable victory for Milan, further amplifying his versatility and impact. Additionally, his goal in the Italian Cup match against Cagliari contributed significantly to Milan’s 4-1 triumph.
This sensational form sets Pulisic on course to eclipse his standout 2019/2020 season at Chelsea, where he notched 11 goals and 10 assists. Having already equaled his previous 7 goals and 6 assists record from the 2018/2019 season with Dortmund, Pulisic is on the brink of surpassing his 2015/2016 performance with the German team, where he secured 10 goals and 8 assists.
The trajectory of Pulisic’s current form suggests an impending record-breaking season, adding another chapter to his football legacy while solidifying his stature as a game-changing talent for AC Milan.
