A Christian Pulisic goal and assist vs Bologna secured AC Milan a 3-1 comeback victory at San Siro on Friday as the American continued his best club season of his career.

Friday’s Serie A matchup saw ninth-placed Milan struggle as has been the case for most of the season, however a late push inspired by Pulisic led the Rossoneri to three points.

With Milan trailing 1-0 late in the second half, Pulisic assisted his Mexican teammate Santiago Giménez to get Milan level.

Inter Milan substitute Davide Frattesi struck an extra-time winner to send his side into the Champions League final following a barnstorming 4-3 victory over Barcelona on Tuesday after Francesco Acerbi had rescued them from the brink of elimination with a stunning equalizer deep in added time.

Christian Pulisic has made 75 appearances in continental competitions (Champions League and Europa League) during his career and has competed in them during all 10 of his professional seasons. That streak is at risk of ending next season but there’s still hope.

Even during Pulisic’s first senior year with Borussia Dortmund in 2015-16 he made three appearances in the Europa League. Since then he’s been continuously appearing on the biggest stages in Europe.

A fantastic Christian Pulisic goal vs Como brought AC Milan level during their 2-1 comeback victory in Serie A on Saturday at San Siro.

The Rossoneri got off to another poor start and trailed at the half. The home fans loudly booed their squad off the pitch after the halftime whistle, but a second half comeback was in the cards.
