USMNT star Christian Pulisic plays down top-scorer role at AC Milan as American forward reflects on doing his ‘job’

The United States international has taken his tally for the 2024-25 campaign to 11 in all competitions. Of those efforts, six have come in Serie A. Nobody at San Siro can claim to have bettered that return this season.

Pulisic was on target again in a dramatic 3-2 win over Parma, as he converted from the penalty spot, but told DAZN afterwards of becoming the Rossoneri’s top marksman in the league: “It is our job to score, we want to help the team in any way, through goals or assists. We have to keep going like this.”

Milan trailed 2-1 heading into stoppage-time against Parma, but ended up taking all three points courtesy of efforts from Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze. Pulisic concedes that they need to become more consistent.

The 26-year-old, who has become a talismanic presence for Milan, added on Sergio Conceicao’s side having to recover from setbacks of their own making: “We have to show this hunger at the beginning of the match too. But it’s a very important victory for us.”

Milan have moved up to sixth in the Serie A table, as they chase down European qualification once more, with Pulisic and Co set to be back in Champions League action on Wednesday when taking in a trip to Dinamo Zagreb.
