Winger Breaks Cold Streak With an Assist Before the International Break
Christian Pulisic was at the heart of Milan's victory once again on Saturday, picking up another assist as the Rossoneri edged Torino 3-2 at San Siro to keep the pressure on league leaders Inter.
The American winger's contribution came nine minutes into the second half. Receiving a clever pass from Luka Modrić inside the box, Pulisic showed sharp awareness to square the ball across goal for Adrien Rabiot, who tapped home at the back post to restore Milan's advantage.
It was another understated but vital moment from the 26-year-old, whose influence on this Milan side continues to be reflected in the numbers. Since arriving at the club in 2023, Pulisic has tallied 31 goals and 20 assists in Serie A, making him the only player in the division to reach both thresholds across that period.
With eight games remaining and Milan sitting five points behind Inter, every contribution counts, and Pulisic keeps delivering them. Heading into the international break, he joins Malik Tillman and Folarin Balogun as USMNT players arriving in top form at a pivotal moment for Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
