'I hope we meet in the Final' - USMNT's Yunus Musah on the potential of facing AC Milan teammate Santiago Giménez in the CONCACAF Nations League

U.S. international Yunus Musah and Mexico's Santiago Giménez could face off as rivals on Sunday in the Nations League Final - but for now, they remain close friends and teammates at AC Milan.

Musah and Giménez have built a strong relationship since the Mexican striker’s arrival at the Rossoneri.

"Santi is a great teammate to have in the locker room, he's a good guy. There's a really good atmosphere. He’s Mexican, and we’re [Christian Pulisic and I] American, so it’s a fun rivalry having him in the locker room. But he’s a good guy, so I’m sure when I see him with Mexico, it will be great," Musah said.

Musah hopes he'll see his Milan teammate in Sunday's final, with the USMNT aiming for its fourth Nations League title - if it progresses past Panama. "I hope we meet in the Final, and it will be a great moment to play against each other."

Musah, who came through Arsenal's academy, joined AC Milan in 2023 and has since played 75 matches for the club. Santiago Giménez arrived this winter but has made a great impact since his signing, earning the affection and respect of his teammates. The Mexican has already recorded three goals and two assists in just 10 matches with the Italian side.

"I would like to face Mexico. Hopefully, we’ll see them - it would be great to play against them, win the trophy, go back to Milan, and talk about it," Musah said Wednesday.

The Nations League Finals at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles kick off Thursday. In the first match, the USMNT will face Panama, while Mexico and Canada will determine the second finalist in the evening. The United States aims to maintain its dominance in this tournament, while all other teams will seek their first championship.
