WHAT HAPPENED?
Pulisic played a key role again for Milan on Tuesday as the Rossoneri enjoyed a 3-1 Champions League win over holders Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. The USMNT star set up the opener to take his tally to seven goals and four assists in 14 appearances this season for the Serie A side. Pulisic described it as an “amazing result” to win at the home of the Spanish champions and added it was a “a really special night” for his team.

Pulisic is clearly in the form of his life right now at Milan, and his performances have seen him described as “world class” by former USMNT midfielder Sacha Kljestan. Former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Henry has also been impressed with the USMNT skipper and had some kind words for Pulisic after the final whistle at the Santiago Bernabeu.
WHAT HENRY SAID
He told Pulisic on CBS Sports: “Christian. I have something to say. I have been saying for a very long time when people ask me what you need to do to play and perform. I always said it’s on you to show people what you need to do. Right now you are doing that every week so play with your chest out because you are doing really well and now we can talk about what you are doing because you are doing it more often than not. Well done.”
DID YOU KNOW?
Pulisic has been involved in at least one goal in 10 of his 14 appearances in all competitions for Milan this season.
