CorSport: Pulisic is Milan’s ‘unstoppable machine’ as impressive numbers continue | OneFootball

Christian Pulisic continues to be the man of the moment for AC Milan with his goals and assists, easing the pressure on a struggling left flank.

As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes this morning, Rafael Leao is at the centre of criticism regarding his attitude and his struggles for form, Pulisic on the other side is in great form. The American has been outstanding since he arrived at Milan in summer 2023, and he is continuing that under the new coach.

The USA international is irreplaceable to Paulo Fonseca given that he does well wherever he is deployed. On the right, left or down the middle seems to make no difference to Pulisic, who continues to perform at high levels and be a leader in terms of the standards that he sets.

Pulisic has amassed seven goals and three assists so far this season, many of which were decisive for the final result of the match. The only games he hasn’t had a goal involvement in were the opener against Torino and Bayer Leverkusen away in the Champions League.

In short, the former Chelsea man is the new talisman of Fonseca’s Milan, as well as the Serie A player with the most goal contributions since the start of the 2024 calendar year. He has taken part in 24 goals with Milan,15 goals and 9 assists, making him an ‘unstoppable machine’ that is dragging Milan along.

There might have been a bit of luck about his Olimpico goal to get the ball rolling against Club Brugge on Tuesday night by his own admission, but there is nothing lucky about the rampant form that the forward has been in.
