    U.S. international Christian Pulisic was named to Milan's starting XI for the Champions League opener at San Siro, and he needed just four minutes to give the Rossoneri the lead. Pulisic broke through on the right-hand side and slotted a shot past Alisson, who could do nothing to stop the U.S. men's national team star's effort.

    The goal gave Milan a 1-0 lead, kickstarting the club's European campaign in the first match of this new Champions League format.

The goal is his third for Milan this season following finishes against Parma and Venezia, while he also has two assists so far, too. Pulisic also recently scored for the USMNT in a 1-1 draw with New Zealand during the international break.
