PULISIC IS THE MVP FROM JUVENTUS v AC MILAN
Supercoppa Italiana
Chris is back, when he's there, you can tell. After a month out (away since Atalanta v AC Milan on December 6), Pulisic was back just in time: he started against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final and was once again decisive, winning and converting the penalty which overhauled proceedings.
His goal tally this season jumps to nine: five in Serie A, three in the Champions League and one in the Supercoppa Italiana, plus another three for the US national team. You can tell when he's there, he always knows how to leave a mark. Back from injury, he especially picked up pace in the second half when the squad raised their tone, playing a full 90 minutes. Beating out Musah and Thiaw, Pulisic is the MVP for Juventus v AC Milan.
In the biggest defensive push for the side, once we went ahead through Gatti's own goal, Chris also sacrificed himself to contain the game, picking up a yellow card to stop Yıldız on a counter. Selflessness, sacrifice and intelligence at the service of the side.
He took the penalty in an unusual way, powerful and going through Di Gregorio's hands - in August 2023, he saved a penalty from Chris who then picked it up on the rebound to score during the first edition of the Trofeo Silvio Burlusconi. This time, thankfully, the penalty went in, and the game changed, securing us a spot in the final.
