While doing his best to avoid any declarations he may come to regret, AC Milan forward Christian Pulisic admitted that Sunday’s derby win over Inter “sends a message” to the rest of Serie A that the Rossoneri are very much in the title race.
The U.S. men’s national team star scored the only goal in the latest iteration of this storied European rivalry, poking in from close range after a typically rapid raid forward. Pulisic and his fellow outfielders were ultimately indebted to their goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, who made six staggering saves on the night, including one to deny a Hakan Çalhanoğlu penalty.
The win took Milan up to second, level on points with defending champions Napoli and just two behind league leaders Roma.
