Christian Pulisic is so on-fire he’s scoring Olimpicos now

It is good to be Christian Pulisic right now.

For evidence of this, one simply needs to look at some of the crazy stats the U.S. men’s national team star is putting up early in his second season with AC Milan.

Need any further proof? How about Pulisic’s Olimpico goal in Tuesday’s vital Champions League match against Club Brugge.

With the match at San Siro scoreless, Pulisic lined up a corner kick from the left side in the 34th minute. The USMNT forward curled in a right-footed in-swinger, with a crowd of players at the near post throwing goalkeeper Simon Mignolet off just enough for the ball to bounce in.

After picking up a red card, Brugge stunned Milan with an equalizer early in the second half. But Tijjani Reijnders would prove the match-winner, as the Milan midfielder answered with a brace to earn his side a much-needed 3-1 win.

Speaking to Milan TV after the game, Pulisic admitted that he wasn’t actually trying to score straight from the corner.

“Today I was a bit lucky but it still counts as a goal,’ he said. ‘I’m very happy. I didn’t try to score directly but it was a good cross and then a nice goal came out.”

The goal continued a remarkable run for Pulisic, who now has seven goals and three assists in just 11 games this season for Milan.

The Pennsylvania native has goal contributions in nine of his 11 matches this season, including two goals in three Champions League games.
