"This summer, it was hoped that Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao would get to their best levels for AC Milan, and they were. However, they have hit a wall. It is undeniable that the start of this season was as good as we have seen either Pulisic or Leao in front of goal. The pair were phenomenal and regularly looked like making an impact on the game. However, they have slowed."
"Gazzetta dello Sport, this morning, write that they're 'not feeling well' and more importantly, they're not scoring. The American is yet to find the net since the start of 2025, whilst Leao is on a four-game goalless streak."
"It cannot be denied that they have been impressive so far, and their current form is tormenting. However, the subtle physical issues take a long time to fully resolve, so patience must be required. Once they are fully back to normal, things should return to their previous state."
Pulisic and Leao began the season in excellent form for AC Milan, producing frequent goal threat and strong match impact. Both players have since slowed and suffered intermittent injuries that have limited appearances and rhythm. Pulisic has not scored since the start of 2025, while Leao endures a four-game goalless run. A congested schedule has exacerbated fatigue and minor physical problems for both forwards. The lingering nature of subtle physical issues demands patience, with an expectation that performance and goal output should improve once both are fully recovered and match-fit.
