AC Milan lost against Juventus in a match that ended up being decided thanks to an own goal by Rade Krunic and the expulsion of Malick Thiaw. Milan has been one of the teams that has had the best start and was the leader in Italy prior to this game, but things did not end up going as expected for the Italian team. However, one of the most disappointing performances of the match was that of Pulisic, who in the end had little responsibility since he left due to Thiaw's expulsion.

 

Milan could have regained the lead of the standings with the victory and extended the difference with Juve to seven points. Instead, the Bianconeri consolidated their position in third place and closed the gap with Milan to one point and two points behind Serie A leader Inter Milan, who beat Torino 3-0 on Saturday.

Both teams were without key players due to suspension or injuries, including Juve midfielder Nicolò Fagioli, who is serving a seven-month ban the Federation granted this week as part of a betting scandal. The match had the great attraction of the confrontation of the stars of the American team, with Pulisic and Musah on one side and Timothy Weah and McKennie on the other. However, the USMNT captain only played 43 minutes, after his team's defender was ejected. However, some Milan fans criticized the American's game.

 

The claim of Milan fans to Pulisic

Christian Pulisic only played 43 minutes in his team's loss to Juventus. The footballer was the one sacrificed by Pioli since he needed to bring in another defender after the expulsion of Thiaw, and he could not take out either Leao or Giroud, his two references in attack. For this reason, he decided to release Pulisic. However, the player's game so far was not going well and on social media, Milan fans let him know. The American played 43 minutes, had 24 Touches and did not win any duel against Daniele Rugani.
