Overview
- Christian Pulisic, whose scoreless run reached 16 club matches following Sunday’s 0-0 against Juventus, exited in the 62nd minute without recording a shot.
- Massimiliano Allegri called Pulisic a very sensitive player and linked the slump to tough physical duels and a setup that often lacks a true striker, noting he used him at center-right against Juve.
- AC Milan legend Alessandro Costacurta criticized the display on Sky, labeling Pulisic the worst performer on the field and questioning the fit of the front pair.
- Allegri said the draw was a useful step and stressed Milan are now six points from securing their target, with the club in third place and four league games to go, including a trip to Sassuolo next.
- Milan confirmed Luka Modrić suffered a complex left cheekbone fracture and had successful surgery, which ends his club season but leaves a path to recover for the World Cup.
