AC Milan has achieved excellent results in the last week, with positive performances from various players, including Theo Hernandez, Rafael Leao, Tammy Abraham, Alvaro Morata, Youssouf Fofana, and Matteo Gabbia.
The true silent leader of the team, however, is Christian Pulisic, who is maintaining a very high level of performance and will be crucial in the Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen.
As per Tuttosport in this morning’s print edition, ‘Captain America’, as the fans like to call him, has been the most decisive player at the start of this season, with 5 goals and 2 assists in 7 matches. The former Chelsea forward has successfully faced Bayer Leverkusen in the past while playing for Borussia Dortmund.
Since the beginning of the 2023-24 season, only Lautaro Martinez, considering Serie A players, has been involved in more goals than Pulisic across all competitions involving Italian teams: the Inter captain has contributed to 33 goals (29 goals and 4 assists), while the Rossoneri number eleven has been involved in 32 (20 goals and 12 assists).
