Pulisic has begun his stint at the San Siro impressively, transitioning from Chelsea to AC Milan for £18 million ($22.41 million) during the summer. His impact includes six goals and four assists across 16 Serie A matches. However, pundits emphasize that clinching a trophy is the key to earning complete respect from the club’s supporters.

During a discussion on CBS Sports Golazo, pundit Charlie Davies highlighted the significance of Pulisic’s potential legacy, stating, “It’s the respect you get from the Milan fans. He’ll [Pulisic] go down as being one of those players who helped to win a trophy. When you create history it doesn’t matter where you’re from, they look at what you did for the team.”

While acknowledging Pulisic’s early contributions, Davies underlined that this phase marks the beginning, not the culmination, of his journey with Milan, emphasizing the importance of his continued fitness.

Milan faced setbacks in the Champions League group stage and currently lag behind in the Serie A title race. Nevertheless, they remain strong contenders for the Europa League. Recently, they advanced to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals after a 4-1 victory against Cagliari. Milan’s last major European triumph was the 2007 Champions League, and they haven’t secured the Coppa Italia since 2003. Pulisic’s most recent major trophy was the 2021 Champions League with Chelsea.

Pulisic is close to equaling his personal best of 13 goal contributions in a single season. However, his focus lies on delivering a title that Milan fans have long awaited. Their upcoming Serie A fixture against Empoli holds significance in this pursuit.
