Christian Pulisic admits AC Milan 'have to improve everything' after unconvincing Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava as USMNT star also addresses injury fears

Pulisic opened the scoring as the Serie A side took the lead in the Champions League clash, only to see his goal quickly cancelled out before Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham struck in the second-half. The hosts fought back with another goal, but had a player sent off late on as the Rossoneri left with the three points.

Despite the victory, United States international Pulisic was not entirely satisfied with the way his side played as he felt they gave too many chances to the Slovakian team.

"It was a difficult match. We are happy for the three points which is the most important thing, but we had to play better," he told Milan TV. "It’s not easy to play here, we took the lead, they had chances, we have to do better. We want to play better. Winning is important, but we have to improve."

He continued to Sky: “The most important thing is that we won. But it is clear that we want to play a little better... It’s everything. We have to score more goals and defend better, we have to improve."

Pulisic was taken off after 74 minutes when his side were 3-1 up, but quashed injury fears as he said his substitution was "a precaution", meaning he will likely start again when AC Milan meet Empoli on Saturday.
