‘Not flowing right now’ – Form admission from USMNT star Christian Pulisic as AC Milan cling desperately to Champions League dream

The Serie A giants find themselves rooted to the foot of Group F after three games, with the Rossoneri picking up just two points from a possible nine. Their latest setback – having opened with back-to-back goalless draws with Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund – came in a humbling 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

USMNT star Pulisic admits that Milan are still searching for a spark – having also lost their last Serie A game to fellow title hopefuls Juventus – with the American forward telling CBS Sports: “We weren't clinical enough - I have to put a chance away today. It's on us, we just have to keep working. I guess it's just not flowing right now but it will come again. I think we just have to keep our heads up. It doesn't feel like a game we should lose 3-0, I think is the message. We were in the game for most of it and just let it slip away from us. We'll be fine going forward, we're a confident bunch of guys. The good thing with this schedule is we have another game in a couple of days and we can rebound.”

Milan have domestic outings against Napoli and Udinese to come before playing host to PSG on November 7 in their next European outing, with Pulisic admitting that a winning run is now a must. He added: “We have to focus on the next game. We're not out of it yet, we just need to string a couple of wins together. We've had some tough games in some tough stadiums but that's no excuse, we need to turn it around and we need to win.”

Kylian Mbappe, Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-in were on target for PSG at Parc des Princes, with Pulisic and Co unable to find a way through despite firing in 11 efforts on goal in the French capital.
