Christian Pulisic has reached double figures again on the goal front for AC Milan this season, but the USMNT star has gone 12 games without finding the target and has drawn a complete blank since the turn of the calendar year. The American forward remains a talismanic presence for the Rossoneri, but club legend Massimo Ambrosini has told GOAL why end product has dried up in 2026.
Federico Chiesa, who has endured a tough couple of years at Liverpool, is considered to be a “fragile guy” and has been told that a return to his native Italy could be the best option for all concerned. Struggles for fitness and regular game time continue to plague the Italian winger in England, with Massimino Ambrosini telling GOAL why a change of scenery in 2026 would make a lot of sense.
The annual NXGN lists are back for 2026, as GOAL ranks the world's top teenage talents in men's and women's football, crowning winners that will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Vicky Lopez in being recognised as the best young footballers on the planet.
