‘Scenes!’ - USMNT star Christian Pulisic revels in another big moment for AC Milan alongside international team-mate Yunus Musah

The American pair helped the Rossoneri to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Genoa on Saturday, with Pulisic netting the only goal of the game in the 87th minute. He then offered to go in goal after seeing Mike Maignan sent off, only for Olivier Giroud to step up and preserve a precious clean sheet.

Pulisic is delighted to be making such an impact in Italy on the back of his summer transfer from Chelsea – with the target being found on four occasions – and has posted on social media: “Scenes! What a night. What a team.”

Musah, who has also settled quickly at San Siro, is loving being part of a Milan side that is offering enough to suggest that they can compete for major honours in 2023-24. He has said in an Instagram post of his own: “What a football match to be a part of. Such a nice away win! Forza Milan.”

Milan have, after responding positively to their derby drubbing by arch-rivals Inter, moved back to the top of Serie A and will be hoping to see Pulisic and Musah returned safely to them following the latest round of USMNT fixtures during the October international break.
