    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Christian Pulisic continues to have a breakout season for AC Milan this campaign and arguably the biggest area of improvement has come in his corner kicks. That proved crucial against Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League match Tuesday.

    The U.S. international dropped a pinpoint assist off of a corner in the 12th minute to find Malick Thaw on a headed goal to score Milan's opener. It was Pulisic's fourth overall assist of the season, in 13 matches, and continues to show his quality.
