Getty Images EntertainmentWHAT HAPPENED
Batman as a soccer player?
Christian Pulisic, known for his creativity on the field, took his talents to… pop culture soccer scouting? The AC Milan and USMNT star put his soccer expertise to the test by ranking how well fictional icons like LeBron James, Shrek, Yoda, SpongeBob, Peter Griffin, and yes, Batman, would fare on the pitch. The hilarious rankings were shared in a video posted on Instagram by The Bread Basket — because who wouldn’t want to see Batman take the pitch?
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Pulisic has been in fine form for AC Milan this season, contributing to 24 goals across all competitions, a tally that includes three goals in his last two league games for the Rossoneri. It has been a key reason why the Milan giants are back in the running for a potential place in Europe next season although they do face a tough fight ahead as they currently sit ninth in Serie A.
Getty Images SportWHAT’S NEXT?
Following the start of the international break, Christian Pulisic and the USMNT will face Panama next in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals and then the finals, depending on their results against Panama on March 21. Following that, Pulisic returns to AC Milan as the Rossoneri face title challengers Napoli on March 31 in Naples before returning home to host Internazionale for the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal on April 3.
