GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
United States internationals on the books at Serie A giants Milan and Juventus have spoken out in the recent past at supposed bias that they claim still exists in Europe when it comes to star turns from the other side of the Atlantic.
GettyWHAT MASSIMO AMBROSINI SAID
Milan legend Massimo Ambrosini - speaking to bet365, who offer the latest UEFA Champions League odds here – exclusively told GOAL when asked about the treatment of stars from the States: "I think not taking American players seriously is an old thing. I remember Michael Bradley, Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey. I used to follow American footballers and they are no different to other players.
"Here we have Yunus Musah as well as Christian Pulisic and during the last Juventus game there were four American players on the pitch including Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie. They have a great side and are hosting the next World Cup, so they need to have a good team!"
