The stat that has Pulisic as the most in-form player in Europe
The USMNT winger returned to action in Serie A where he was a key figure in AC Milan’s win over Udinese.
Christian Pulisic continues to showcase the best form of his career, finding the comfort and confidence at AC Milan that allows him to consistently perform at his peak in Serie A with the Rossoneri.
Ahead of the important USMNT match in Guadalajara against Mexico, there was much discussion about Pulisic’s early return to Milan. The goal was to ensure the Pennsylvania-born star was in top shape for the upcoming string of matches with his club side.
Pulisic’s impressive goal contribution stat
In hindsight, the decision to release him from the USMNT camp proved wise. In Saturday’s Serie A clash against Udinese, Pulisic was the star once again, providing an assist for Samuel Chukwueze’s goal, further affirming his outstanding form.
That assist marked Pulisic’s second of the season in the league. While he has been more prolific as a goal scorer, his overall contribution has been exceptional, reaching levels not seen so far this season in Europe’s top five leagues.
With six goals and three assists already this season, Pulisic’s standout achievement is contributing to goals in seven consecutive games, making him the only player in Europe’s top leagues - La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 - to do so this season.
This impressive statistic, shared by Opta, highlights Pulisic as arguably the most in-form player in Europe.
After what he called “a key move” in his career, leaving England and Germany behind for a life in Italy, Pulisic has become a key figure for Paulo Fonseca at Milan and aims to carry his stellar club form into his performances with the USMNT under Mauricio Pochettino.
