- Scored brace against Cagliari
- 11th and 12th Serie A goals of the season
- Matched and exceeded Kaka’s campaign
WHAT HAPPENED?
Pulisic was on fine form for Serie A’s second-placed team as they thrashed Cagliari 5-1. The USMNT international recorded his 19th goal contribution of the season in Italy’s top-flight including two goals to match and then exceed Kaka’s record from 18 years ago.
11 – Christian Pulisic (11) became the first AC Milan midfielder to score more than 10 goals, excluding penalties, in a single #SerieA season since Kaká in 2005/06 (11). Certainty.#MilanCagliari

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 25-year-old has enjoyed a good start to life in Milan although he will end the campaign with mixed feelings. The Rossoneri have all but secured second place in the division but remain 18 points behind city rivals Inter, who won the league with ease.
DID YOU KNOW?
The former Chelsea man was the first American male to play in a Champions League final. Pulisic was part of the squad that defeated Manchester City in 2021, helping them win their second title. He was subsequently the first American to win the competition.
WHAT NEXT FOR PULISIC?
Pulisic will be hoping to carry his form into the 2024-25 campaign but he has work to do over the summer. The Copa America is being held in his home nation and he will likely be part of history as the USMNT compete in the tournament for just the fifth time.
