"In the Derby della Madonnina, Pulisic has found the back of the net three times, and Milan have always prevailed when he has done so. A goal can thus be liberating in multiple ways, especially since the Rossoneri are under quite a lot of pressure in the standings."
"Bursitis has prevented him from training at his best, and his physical condition is no longer what it was at the end of 2025. However, his dedication has never suffered: in fact, he has been working more than usual to recover strength, going to Milanello even on his days off."
"The gaffer is well aware of Pulisic's nine-game goal drought in 2026, a run that is highly unusual for the American since he has 42 goals in 124 appearances, or one goal every three matches."
Christian Pulisic enters the Milan derby against Inter seeking to end his nine-game goal drought in 2026 while continuing his strong historical performance in this fixture. Pulisic has scored three times in the Derby della Madonnina, with Milan winning every time he has netted. Despite battling bursitis and reduced physical condition, his dedication remains unwavering, training beyond scheduled sessions to regain form. Manager Massimiliano Allegri selected Pulisic as Rafael Leao's attacking partner, banking on their pace to challenge Inter's defense. A goal would provide multiple benefits: breaking his drought, securing crucial points in the Champions League race, and narrowing the seven-point gap to Inter in the Scudetto race.
