The two former Chelsea players didn’t fit in at all in AC Milan

AC Milan easily defeated Slavia Praha 3-1 in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 match to advance to the quarterfinals. The Italian representative’s scorers were Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The first goal was scored in the 33rd minute by Pulisic. Afterwards, he assisted Rafael Leao in scoring Milan’s third goal. For the first time in his career, Pulisic has now scored in three straight games after netting the game-winning goal against Empoli in Serie A on the weekend and in the first leg to give his team a 4-2 victory at San Siro. Karma.

Since leaving Chelsea in the summer of last year, the 25-year-old has already netted 11 goals for Milan. Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic’s partner, also achieved a noteworthy milestone when he scored the Rossoneri’s second goal against the Czech squad. Opta claims that he is the first Milan midfielder to score four goals or more in a European season since Kaka in the 2006–07 campaign (10 goals).

The English star played at a higher level, making the most of his abilities. The former Chelsea midfielder got five goals and one assist in 24 games in Serie A alone.

For Pulisic, the summer transfer from Chelsea to Milan couldn’t have come at a better time—he’s already tied for the most goals of his career this season.

Although Pulisic experienced a little dry spell at the beginning of 2024, he has since bounced back and scored in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. Even though Milan is now in second place in the league and behind Inter by a massive 16 points, they will still have a significant goal to strive for this season if they advance in the Europa League.

Pulisic’s opponent for the tournament’s final eight will soon be known, as the draw takes place on Friday. Pulisic’s form is also advantageous for the United States, who will play Jamaica on March 21 in hopes of defending their Concacaf Nations League championship. If they win, they’ll go to the championship game, but Pulisic must continue to score like he is in Italy if Gregg Berhalter and the USMNT are to survive the competition.
