MVP FOR SEPTEMBER: CHRISTIAN PULISIC

He's just getting better and better. The signs were there in August, during which Christian Pulisic scored against Parma and set up Pavlović to find the net at the Olimpico, but he really put his foot on the accelerator in the 30 days of September, confirming his convincing start to the 2024/25 campaign. The US international found the net on several occasions and was consistently decisive, helping the team overcome a complicated period.

During the first international break of the season, he played two friendlies for the USA (also scoring against New Zealand). He came back and then bagged in four consecutive matches, just like he did in March (Empoli, Slavia Praha, Verona, Slavia Praha). First, he converted from the penalty spot against Venezia (a match where he also provided an assist for Fofana), and then came his early goal against Liverpool, even if the visitors went on to win at San Siro.

He bagged the opener with a real gem in the derby on 22 September, and finished the scoring in the Rossoneri's 3-0 victory over Lecce five days later. In short, Puli has made a huge contribution recently. He's undoubtedly a decisive player, as confirmed by the numbers: Chris (32: 20G+12A) is the Serie A player to have been directly involved in the most goals in the past two seasons across all competitions, ahead of Rafael Leão.

Now, following the voting on our website, he's been confirmed as the Emirates MVP for September 2024, finishing in front of derby hero Matteo Gabbia and Tijjani Reijnders, a constant presence in the Rossoneri midfield. After the clash against Fiorentina, Pulisic will head off on international duty before returning to Milanello to hopefully once again take centre stage in October.
