The Rondo, Christian Pulisic edition: For which other European clubs could the USMNT and Milan standout start?

Christian Pulisic is in the form of his life. The USMNT's captain has been a crucial part of Milan's side, even as the Rossonieri have struggled their way through the early part of the season.
