USMNT's Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, and Mexico's Santi Gimenez crash out of Champions League as Feyenoord eliminate AC Milan

AC Milan drew Feyenoord 1-1 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, resulting in their elimination from the 2024-25 competition. The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-christian-pulisic-ac-milan-first-leg-loss-of-ucl-tie-against-feyenoord/blte21c98fadfb49cca" target="_self">Rossoneri fell to the Dutch side 1-0 in the first leg of the series</a>, and failed to secure a victory over their opposition in Leg 2.U.S. internationals Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah started the match for the Italian side, as did Mexico star Santiago Gimenez, who scored their lone goal on the day. After an initial cross from Pulisic into the box, the ball was headed back into the mix of the six-yard box, where Gimenez was to head home into the back of the net.However, in the second half, their promising performance turned to disappointment when fullback Theo Hernandez was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for simulation in the opposition box.Reduced to 10-men, the Rossoneri conceded an equalizer to former Philadelphia Union star Julian Carranza in the 73rd minute, ultimately handing Feyenoord a 2-1 aggregate lead. Unable to find another goal, the final whistle blew on the match, and their European season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Rossoneri were on track to take a regulation victory on Tuesday up until Hernandez's sending off, which ultimately cost them the match and a potential spot in the Round of 16 in the competition. Pulisic, meanwhile, was subbed off the pitch in the 63rd minute for 19-year-old Davide Bartesaghi in unexpected fashion. Gimenez was also removed eight minutes later, with Feyenoord drawing level two minutes after his removal. Musah played all 90 minutes plus stoppage.Questions will surround Portuguese manager Sergio Conceicao for his decisions to remove his most in-form players, but ultimately, being reduced to 10-men changed the match -- with a lack of discipline from the veteran fullback costing his team.Now, the Rossoneri only have the Coppa Italia to play for, with the Serie A title out of reach and being eliminated from European competition.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Feyenoord became the first Playoff Knockout Round side to secure their berth into the Round of 16. They'll play either Inter Milan or Arsenal in the quarterfinals.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Rossoneri return to Serie A action this weekend when they travel to take on Torino. They currently sit seventh in the league standings.To qualify for European competition in 2025-26 now, they'll need to guarantee their spot by climbing the table into a top-four position by the end of the campaign.
