Scott McTominay’s fairy tale first season at Napoli ended in the grandest way possible on Friday as he scored a fantastic scissor kick to help clinch the Serie A title for his side.

The former Manchester United man broke down in tears as the celebrations began in Naples following the club’s 2-0 victory against Cagliari.

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.

Two Christian Pulisic goals vs Lecce on Saturday ended the American’s month-long goal drought and gave AC Milan three points they desperately needed.

Milan looked on course for a fourth consecutive Serie A defeat when the hosts took a two-goal lead at the hour mark. It looked like Milan manager Sergio Conceicao was going to be coaching his final 30 minutes for the Italian giants, but then his side did the unthinkable.

Serie A seeks to win the race of becoming the first top European league to play league games in the United States. Serie A president Ezio Simonelli said on Tuesday that the league wants to play overseas soon.

Serie A and LaLiga have been the two elite leagues leading the charge of hosting matches in the U.S. Last year it was rumored that Barcelona and Atlético Madrid would play in Miami, however the idea fell through.

MLS is the real deal, folks.

Major League Soccer has solidified its position among the world’s top-tier soccer leagues, now ranked as the ninth-best league globally, according to Opta Analyst.

MLS ranked as ninth-best league in the world, over EFL Championship and Eredivisie

This milestone places MLS above renowned leagues like the English Championship and the Dutch Eredivisie — two leagues in Europe with long histories of having top soccer talents.

Christian Pulisic wasn’t happy about false reports of him seeking a summer departure from AC Milan and spoke publicly about the situation on Thursday.

Fans of Pulisic know that the American star is rather reserved when it comes to speaking out, so to see him so openly refute reports was surprising.
