WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking on <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo" target="_blank">CBS Sports Golazo</a>, pundit Charlie Davies said: "It's the respect you get from the Milan fans. He'll [Pulisic] go down as being one of those players who helped to win a trophy. When you create history it doesn't matter where you're from, they look at what you did for the team."Right now we know Pulisic has done a lot for Milan, and he's just getting started. This isn't the end product, this isn't the end game. He's at the start of his journey with Milan. We just need him to stay healthy."

WHAT CHARLIE DAVIES SAID

Milan were eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage, and already look to be out of the Serie A title race. However, Stefano Pioli's side are one of the favourites to win the Europa League, and on Tuesday they reached the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia by beating Cagliari 4-1.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Milan have not won a major European trophy since the Champions League in 2007, and have not won the Coppa Italia since 2003. Pulisic's last major trophy win came in 2021 when he helped Chelsea win the Champions League.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pulisic is just three goal contributions away from matching his single-season club record of 13. He'll be more focused on ensuring that Milan fans get to celebrate securing a title they haven't won in a long time. Next up for Milan and Pulisic is a Serie A trip to Empoli on Sunday.

WHAT NEXT FOR MILAN AND PULISIC?
