It was a day to forget for Christian Pulisic and AC Milan, whose European dreams are in tatters after losing to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final.

Christian Pulisic went from Pennsylvania prodigy to global soccer star and he’s cashed in big. From Chelsea riches to Milan glory, his fortune tells a story of talent and timing. Check out his net worth.

After struggling for much of the 2024-25 season, AC Milan has found its stride at the perfect time. For a second Serie A match in a row, Milan overcame a 1-0 deficit to notch a 3-1 win, with the comeback catalyzed by Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez.

AC Milan was on its way to a defeat against Bologna on Friday, but Christian Pulisic had other ideas. The U.S. international engineered a second-half turnaround with a goal and an assist in quick succession, turning a one-goal deficit into a 3-1 win for Milan.

If you exclude genuine forwards (first or second strikers) Pulisic is the first Milan player to score more than 10 goals in each of his first two Serie A seasons with the Rossoneri since the days of Luciano Chiarugi (1972-73 and 1973-74), with 12 goals last season and 11 in this.

Christian Pulisic was once again at the heart of the action for the Rossoneri, lifting his side from the brink of defeat to a 3-1 win, and capping it off with a celebration that had fans talking for more than just soccer reasons.
