So, How's the Greatest American Soccer Player of All Time Doing?
I wrote about Christian Pulisic’s weird and weirdly under-discussed season with AC Milan:
Put simply, Pulisic has been one of the most productive, ever-present attackers in Serie A so far this season. Among players to appear in at least 1,200 minutes of game time, he ranks fifth in the league in per-90-minute attacking contribution (non-penalty goals and assists):
1) Lautaro Martínez, Inter Milan: 1.07
2) Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus: 0.95
3) Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan: 0.84
4) Olivier Giroud, AC Milan: 0.82
5) Christian Pulisic, AC Milan: 0.68For context, here are some players outside of Italy who Pulisic has outperformed by this same metric so far this season: Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski, Manchester City's Phil Foden, Julián Álvarez, and Bernardo Silva, Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli.
Enjoy your weekends, everyone!
