'Really tough week' - Christian Pulisic forced to apologise as first penalty miss of USMNT star's career proves costly in AC Milan defeat to Torino - days after shock Champions League exit

Coppa Italia

Inter

AC Milan

<p>The United States international formed part of the Rossoneri side that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/milan-embarrassing-champions-league-exit-what-next-kyle-walker-christian-pulisic-zlatan-ibrahimovic/blt41b28852a5604527" target="_blank">tumbled out of the Champions League following a shock knockout phase play-off defeat</a> to Feyenoord. He then found himself on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline against Torino in Serie A.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pulisic had the opportunity to net his 13th goal of the season in that contest, when Milan were trailing 1-0, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-ac-milan-missed-penalty-serie-a/blt0bc8303e9ff5052a" target="_blank">fluffed his lines from 12 yards as he failed to convert from the spot</a> – tarnishing his previously unblemished record in that department.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pulisic <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rafael-leao-usmnt-christian-pulisic-praise-ac-milan-legend/blt1702cba8b0eb7b9e" target="_blank">remains a talismanic presence for Milan</a>, but has posted on social media after seeing collective and individual standards slip: “Really tough week. Hate letting down this amazing fan base, Will give everything to finish this season on a positive note.”</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt1f4dd01c8eef0581/puli%20apology.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt1f4dd01c8eef0581/puli%20apology.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt1f4dd01c8eef0581/puli%20apology.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Christian Pulisic penalty miss apology" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt1f4dd01c8eef0581;width:462;height:713"></picture>

WHAT CHRISTIAN PULISIC SAID

<p>Defeat to Torino has left Milan seventh in the Italian top flight and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-sets-ambitious-goal-ac-milan-american-forward-european-elite/blta36bfd4031e98fdd" target="_blank">outside of the European qualification places</a> with 13 fixtures remaining. They will be back in action on Thursday when taking in a trip to Bologna, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-reacts-winning-first-trophy-ac-milan-american-forward-celebrate-properly/bltd29d1e7e18607feb" target="_blank">more major silverware remains up for grabs</a> after reaching the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.</p>
