Christian Pulisic has been in the headlines lately for all the wrong reasons, with the ongoing USMNT documentary drama painting him in an unflattering spotlight. However, the 26-year-old forward let his football do the talking, helping his side secure their first win in their inaugural game of the 2025-26 season.
Yet rather than let the controversy define him, Pulisic has found a way to flip the script — on the pitch. The AC Milan forward recently silenced critics in emphatic fashion, scoring a vital goal in the Rossoneri’s 2-0 Coppa Italia win over Bari. In doing so, he not only delivered when his club needed him most but also reminded everyone that his focus remains firmly on football, not on off-field debates or lingering grudges.
The USMNT skipper delivered a decisive moment for AC Milan. Pulisic scored a crucial goal in the Rossoneri’s 2-0 victory over Bari in the first round of the Coppa Italia, marking a significant personal milestone amid the noise surrounding his name.
