Santiago Gimenez’s penalty miss against Napoli proved decisive, leaving fans and pundits alike questioning: Why did Milan allow a struggling striker to take such an important kick when Christian Pulisic was on the pitch?

In AC Milan's 2-1 defeat to Napoli in the 2024–25 Serie A season, fans raised eyebrows after designated penalty taker Christian Pulisic handed the spot-kick to Santiago Gimenez, who ultimately missed the chance.

The latest and most harsh assessment has now arrived from a club legend, who insists that only two players have lived up to expectations. But who are the two players who have earned praise?

Cristiano Ronaldo could soon find himself working under yet another manager at Al-Nassr, as speculation mounts regarding the future of current head coach Stefano Pioli. If the Italian were to leave this summer, it would mark Ronaldo’s fourth managerial change since moving to Riyadh in January 2023.

Milan is preparing for one of its most crucial stretches of the season, and Christian Pulisic returns from international duty with the spotlight firmly on him. Intriguingly, he also has a piece of club history within touching distance — one that involves one of the greatest names to ever wear the Rossoneri kit.

The USMNT looks increasingly like a project veering off course, just as the clock begins to tick louder towards the 2026 World Cup. Yet, things are going very wrong — and not just on the pitch.

The USMNT entered the CONCACAF Nations League Finals with expectations of success. Instead, they suffered back-to-back defeats. One of the key figures in the aftermath has been Christian Pulisic, the American captain and Milan star.

Christian Pulisic’s captaincy of the USMNT has come under fire following a disappointing CONCACAF Nations League campaign. However, Thierry Henry has now come to Pulisic’s defense, calling for a reassessment of expectations placed on the 26-year-old.

Milan hit the nail on the head after luring Christian Pulisic from Chelsea. Now, the Italian giant aims to repeat this success story with another struggling Premier League star.

Video of Santiago Gimenez hobbling into the locker room caused concern among the Milan supporters, even as Mexico's national team celebrated a historic 2-1 win over Panama in the CONCACAF Nations League final.

While the March international break puts a temporary halt to club play, Milan has once again become a household name throughout the world. A staggering 15 Rossoneri players have been called up, making it the most represented Serie A club during this window.

Christian Pulisic recently revealed what he believes is the key trait he is missing to reach the very top of the soccer world. His comments caught the attention of soccer legend Thierry Henry, who responded with a simple yet powerful five-word piece of advice.

It has been a season of highs and lows for Milan, but one thing remains constant—the club’s fans continue to fill San Siro in record numbers. While on the pitch, the Rossoneri struggle to secure a Champions League spot, off the field, they lead all of Serie A in attendance.

Milan have found consistency in just a few key figures this season, with Christian Pulisic being one of them. Now with his resurgence at San Siro, the American’s price tag has reportedly tripled since his arrival at the club.

Following a string of impressive performances, USMNT star Christian Pulisic is reportedly set to extend and improve his contract with AC Milan.
