Christian Pulisic is enjoying what could be the best stint of his career since his debut with Borussia Dortmund and his turbulent time at Chelsea.

Now thriving at AC Milan, the player dubbed “Captain America” has reached a level of performance that establishes him as one of the standout players in the first half of the Serie A season.

Pulisic has been instrumental for Milan, recording eight goals and six assists in 20 games. This stellar form has earned him a spot on The Guardian’s prestigious list of the 100 best footballers of 2024.

Pulisic named in top 100 in the world

For the first time since 2017, Pulisic has re-entered the ranking, this time securing 95th place—a significant improvement from the 77th position he held seven years ago.

In 2024, counting both the conclusion of the 2023–24 Serie A season and the start of the 2024–25 campaign, Pulisic has made 48 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing 13 assists at the club level. On the international stage, he has contributed five goals and three assists for the USMNT this year.

His consistent performances have earned him nominations for Serie A’s Player of the Month as well as AC Milan’s MVP. Additionally, for the fifth consecutive year, Pulisic has been nominated for US Soccer’s Male Player of the Year, an award he has won four times in a row.

Given Pulisic’s impact, AC Milan is reportedly working to extend his contract, recognizing his pivotal role under coach Paulo Fonseca.

Pulisic and Jonathan David: CONCACAF‘s representatives among the elite

Pulisic is the sole American on The Guardian’s top 100 list, but he is not the only representative from CONCACAF. Joining him is Canadian striker Jonathan David, who has also had an exceptional year. David’s 17 goals and four assists in the current season, combined with 26 goals and nine assists from the previous campaign, have earned him the 77th spot on the list, making him the highest-ranked CONCACAF player.

Together, Pulisic and David are shining examples of CONCACAF growing presence in global football, showcasing their talent on some of the world’s biggest stages.
