Milan had already taken a 4-2 lead in the first leg going into the game. They would advance to the next round of the Europa League if they could just hold onto that advantage. There’s no need for dangers or mayhem.
But chaos was upon them.

With his second goal of the two-leg match in the 33rd minute, Pulisic accomplished just that. Rafael Leao found Pulisic, who slid the ball onto his left and found the far corner to put the game out of reach.
Milan’s position was further cemented a few minutes later with a goal from Ruben Loftus-Cheek. In contrast, Rafael Leao’s spectacular goal right before halftime was primarily for the highlight reels as the Rossoneri easily won 3-1 on the day and 7-3 overall.Milan’s victory advances them to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, which will take place on April 11 and 18. When UEFA finalizes the draw for the following round on Friday, the Italian team will know who their next opponent is.
Milan’s best chance of winning a trophy is in the Europa League, as they are now 16 points behind Serie A leaders Inter in their home league.Pulisic is playing brilliantly for Milan, and his goal on Thursday brings his season total up to an even higher number.
Pulisic now has 11 goals overall, three of which have come in the Europa League, thanks to the goal. In addition, he has seven assists across all competitions this season as he gets closer to contributing 20 goals in his Milan debut season. Since it was the American’s 100th goal of the season, the goal was also somewhat of a milestone for him.

Yunus Musah, his USMNT teammate, on the other hand, also had a strong runout. In the CONCACAF Nations League match against Jamaica, the American midfielder performed admirably and is also anticipated to contribute significantly.8/10 for Christian Pulisic:
An outstanding conclusion from a player who is obviously in the mood. was given credit for an assist on Leao’s goal as well, even though the Portuguese superstar did the majority of the work!
Yunus Musah (7 out of 10):
was outstanding in the midfield, winning seven of eight duels in the middle of the park and completing 95% of his passes. All things considered, a solid shift from a player who is improving every week on both sides of the ball.Before players depart for the international break, Milan has one more game, and Pulisic and Musah will both be joining the USMNT. Milan, meanwhile, will go to Verona in Serie A prior to that in an attempt to hang onto second place in the standings.
