Christian Pulisic is off to a fantastic start to his new life in Milan as he scored his second Serie A goal on Saturday during AC Milan’s 4-1 victory vs. Torino.

Pulisic opened the scoring in the 33rd minute. Milan struck on a quick attack with Pulisic slipping the ball through to his former Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Milan midfielder did a great job to get by his defender and then put it on a plate for Pulisic.

Christian Pulisic had a memorable Serie A debut with AC Milan on Monday setting up one goal and scoring one of his own in a 2-0 victory vs. Bologna.

Pulisic’s goal vs. Bologna is arguably one of the best goals in his career. In the 21st minute the USMNT star linked up beautifully with his former Chelsea teammate Olivier Giroud and then rifled a shot from 20 yards out.

Despite three Bologna defenders around him, Pulisic still got his shot off. Bologna’s goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski had no chance saving that one.

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.

Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah showed out during Juventus’ 3-1 preseason friendly victory vs. Real Madrid on Tuesday. McKennie was named man of the match while Weah scored his first Juventus goal, assisted by McKennie.

Let’s get straight to what you USMNT fans want to see and look at the McKennie assist to Weah.

With Juventus leading 1-0, McKennie made a darting run into the Madrid box and then put it on a plate for the wide open Weah.

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has retired from football, the 45-year-old announced on Wednesday, after 28 years in which he reached exceptional milestones for club and country.

Buffon, who in 2006 lifted the World Cup, won 10 Serie A titles with Juventus and a Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain.

"That's all folks! You gave me everything. I gave you everything. We did it together," Buffon said in a statement.

AC Milan are strong candidates for having the best transfer window of the summer. The latest edition to the team is star United States men’s national team midfielder Yunus Musah.

Milan had Musah on their transfer radar earlier this summer, however it appeared the negotiations had fallen through. Musah has played with Valencia for the past three years and the LaLiga club originally wanted a higher price for the American. Fulham looked like a likely candidate rather than Milan, but ultimately the American will go to Italy.

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.
