Christian Pulisic scored his first goal for AC Milan on Tuesday during a friendly vs. Italian side AC Monza which finished 1-1.
Pulisic was given the start and led the line with Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud. The USMNT star scored the only goal for Milan on the night after he did well to earn a penalty. Converting didn’t come easy as his initial attempt was saved but he pounced on the rebound.
It was only a preseason match against a third division team but Christian Pulisic won't care — he'll just be happy to be starting and contributing again after wasting away at Chelsea.
The 24-year-old American, having just completed his $24.5 million transfer, got the start for AC Milan on Thursday during the club's first fixture of the summer, a matchup against Serie C's Lumezzane at the Milanello Sports Center.
The folks over at AC Milan have been doing a great job providing American fans with videos of Christian Pulisic’s first week with the club. On Friday we got to see over five minutes of a Pulisic AC Milan training video.
One of the club’s camera people played the role of ‘Puli cam’ and only filmed the USMNT star during Milan’s training. During the five-minute video we got to see Pulisic laughing during some sort of relay drill where he had to pick a correct cone and some of his skill moves.
Christian Pulisic made his roughly $24 million move from Chelsea to AC Milan official on Wednesday signing a four-year contract with the Rossoneri. With his transfer complete we felt it was appropriate to look at a potential AC Milan starting XI 2023-24 lineup.
Milan manager Stefano Pioli has said that he has a different plan than Chelsea as to where Pulisic will play. Pioli plans to use the American star in the No. 10 role as an attacking midfielder rather than on the wings.
Christian Pulisic's days of misery at Chelsea are over. The USMNT talisman will join AC Milan on a permanent deal in the next few days.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on Twitter.
Christian Pulisic to AC Milan, here we go! Deal in place between clubs as Chelsea accepted conditions of final bid. ⚫️ #ACMilan

It’s official USMNT fans. Gregg Berhalter has been announced as the head coach of the national team, first reported by The Athletic.
The United States men’s national team dominated Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal with a 3-0 victory. What should have been a moment to celebrate was disgraced by fights between players and repeated homophobic chants from Mexican fans.
Before we get into the disgusting ending of the game, let’s take a quick look at the highlights.
Un desastre, una vergüenza, una profunda pena.
México fue goleado por Estados Unidos en las semifinales de la Liga de Naciones, en una de las peores performances del Tri desde el fatídico 7-0 ante Chile en la Copa América Centenario 2016.
Cierto, el marcador no fue tan expresivo (3-0), pero la falta de ideas del técnico Diego Cocca, el pobrísimo rendimiento de sus jugadores y su incapacidad para procesar la derrota de manera digna, dejaron la sensación de que es necesario resetear todo.
Todo.
New United States men’s national team interim head coach B.J. Callaghan will make his debut on Thursday against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals. Fans are incredibly curious about what the USMNT starting XI vs Mexico will look like.
Callaghan was thrust into the head coaching job after Gregg Berhalter’s contract ran out (among a lot of other drama) and former interim head coach Anthony Hudson left the role early to pursue a head coaching job in Qatar.
