Christian Pulisic is having the season of his life, and it's shaping up to be the best yet. The American soccer sensation scored the opening goal for AC Milan in their 3-0 win over Hellas Verona in Serie A on Sunday. This goal took his total to 10 in 15 matches across all competitions, with two assists to boot. The victory kept Milan within striking distance of Serie A leaders Inter Milan, which edged out Atalanta 1-0. The Rossoneri's win marked their 12th consecutive Serie A victory since their season-opening loss to Cremonese in August. This was their final game of 2025, and they're heading into the new year on a high note. Pulisic's goal was a result of excellent teamwork, with Luka Modric delivering a corner kick that Adrien Rabiot headed on, setting up the American for a volley in first-half added time. In the second half, Nkunku scored his first Serie A goal from the penalty spot, and then added another just four minutes later by converting the rebound of Modric's shot. This impressive performance from Pulisic has him on pace to surpass his previous best season, which saw him score 17 goals and provide 12 assists in 50 matches. As the US team prepares for the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by Canada and Mexico, they'll be counting on Pulisic's kind of production. The 24-year-old has been involved in 50 scores since joining Milan in 2023, making him a crucial player for the team. Meanwhile, rival Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez has been involved in 54 scores over the same period. In other Serie A news, Napoli's Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in their 2-0 win over Cremonese, boosting his output beyond what he produced at Manchester United last season. Napoli will be looking to build on this momentum as they head into the new year.
