"Christian Pulisic was the hero of the last derby against Inter, scoring the winner, and he hopes to repeat that feat tonight. This morning's edition of Corriere dello Sport makes an interesting comparison between the current moment and the one a few months ago. The derby on 23 November 2025 was decided by a goal from Pulisic, which came after a difficult period for the American."
"The situation is similar today: the American arrives at the derby after a difficult few weeks, marked by physical problems and a long goal drought. His last goal was on December 28th against Hellas Verona, and the former Chelsea man hasn't registered a goal or assist in 2026, having squandered several chances."
"In the first meeting with the Nerazzurri, the No.11 scored the only goal of the game. It came via a counter-attack, which Allegri will rely upon again tonight. He showed his striker instinct to score that goal too, gambling on a rebound from Alexis Saelemaekers' shot."
Christian Pulisic scored the decisive goal in Milan's previous derby against Inter on November 23, 2025, and seeks to repeat that success tonight. The American arrives at the current match facing similar challenges to his previous difficult period: physical problems and an extended goal drought. His last goal came on December 28th against Hellas Verona, and he has not scored or assisted in 2026 despite creating opportunities. Manager Massimiliano Allegri continues to trust Pulisic and his partnership with Rafael Leao. In the first derby meeting, Pulisic's winning goal came from a counter-attack, demonstrating his striker instincts by capitalizing on a rebound from Alexis Saelemaekers' shot.
