The latest Pulisic goal vs Liverpool saw the United States men’s national team forward strike less than three minutes into the contest. Pulisic had a great run down the right side before arrowing a low shot to the bottom corner.

Tuesday was his first time facing the club in a Rossoneri shirt and while the result won’t be what Milan hoped for, Pulisic at least has the consolation of another goal to his name.
Pulisic has more Champions League goals than any other American in history as he increased his tally to nine.
Milan’s next Champions League fixture will be against Bayer Leverkusen on Oct. 1. Remember with the new format each club will play eight games in one large league table. The top eight teams automatically advance while teams 9-24 will compete in a playoff to make the round of 16.
