After securing the decisive goal in their 1-0 win against Sassuolo last Saturday, Pulisic surpassed McKennie’s previous record of five goals during his debut season for Bianconeri in 2020-21. At 25, Pulisic has achieved double-digit contributions in goals and assists for the first time since 2019-20, his inaugural year at Chelsea.

Pulisic’s exceptional form in Serie A this season is evident, amassing a combined total of 10 goals and assists in the league and guiding Rossoneri to yet another triumph last Saturday. He has undeniably become an indispensable presence in manager Stefano Pioli’s lineup, illuminating not just the San Siro but stadiums throughout Italy and Europe. In the Champions League, he featured in five out of six group stage matches, netting a goal that aided Milan in progressing to the Europa League from the challenging Group of Death.

During McKennie’s initial season at Juventus, he struck up a close bond with defender Giorgio Chiellini, who affectionately dubbed him “Big-Mac” in reference to the popular American fast-food hamburger chain.

Looking ahead, Pulisic and Milan are set to face Cagliari in the Coppa Italia midweek, while Juventus will clash against Roma in a highly anticipated Serie A encounter on Saturday afternoon.
