    That's going to be a major claw since Milan is already down 0-2 in the first 20 min.

    19th minute, Milan is already down 2-0. Ugh. Pulisic will definetly get some decent minutes in the 2nd half.

    Torino is there boogeyman.

    Milan back in it, 2-1 - Thunder strike from Rabiot

    EDIT: The video of Allegri yelling into a phone from the box needs to be a meme

    Ricci on for Leao.

    Looks like CP might not be good/healthy enough for 45+.

    oh so close to a Hatty. Nice Flu game for Pulisic. This kind of form will continue to spark talk about his contract and his future, if it continues

    Had to leave at halftime so I missed Pulisic’s brace.

    Glad he got the winner!

    wow, haha, I did not see that he went and jumped in the away end. Awesome/. I look forward to finding the reaction video of that geezer Crudeli who shouts 'Puli Puli Sic Sic,"

    Must be said, after rewatch, that first goal of his was not easy at all. yes, the defense was poor to let that hit the ground, and yes, keeper maybe could have done better.
    But that first touch out of the air with a slightly limited view was fantatsic.

    And of course, he made his 2nd goal look easy, but getting his knee above the ball and making good contact on that bouncing ball is not simple for anyone.

    From Sempremilan.com...

    Pulisic (10 – MOTM): I very rarely do this, but considering the circumstances, the 10 feels appropriate here. Milan have struggled massively in this fixture over the years and another disappointing result looked certain, then the No.11 stepped up.

    A lot of good is his movement off the ball. And judgment of the ball in flight. Just in those clips, you see superior reading of the game--so when the ball arrives, it looks easy.

    This was evident even from his days at Chelsea.

    Sometimes you wonder how much better he can be and how much more he can accomplished if surrounded by higher quality players, both technically and higher IQ for the game.

    He was surrounded by technically gifted players at Chelsea, it's just that each of those 11 was playing for themselves alone. The kind of players that would be angry/jealous of CP scoring at this kind of clip

    These stats are insane.

    1.68 G+A per 90.

    Can someone fact check this?
