Christian Pulisic delivered a standout performance as AC Milan came from behind to defeat Bologna 3-1 in Serie A — a critical momentum builder ahead of the 2025 Coppa Italia final between the same two sides. The USMNT star recorded both a goal and an assist, continuing his sensational debut season in Italian football.

Bologna opened the scoring through Riccardo Orsolini in the first half, but Milan responded in commanding fashion after the break. In the 73rd minute, Pulisic assisted Santiago Giménez for the equalizer with a clever through ball. Just six minutes later, Pulisic found the net himself with a composed finish to give Milan the lead. Giménez added a late goal to seal all three points for Stefano Pioli’s team.

The victory not only lifted Milan’s spirits but also reaffirmed Pulisic’s importance to the club ahead of their high-stakes rematch in the Coppa Italia final. The American winger has now tallied 17 goals and 11 assists in all competitions this season — his most productive campaign in Europe to date. His impact has been pivotal in Milan’s push for silverware and top-four finish in Serie A.

AC Milan, having already lifted the Supercoppa Italiana, will face Bologna again in the Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Pulisic’s red-hot form and growing chemistry with teammates like Giménez make the Rossoneri strong contenders for another trophy.

Pulisic’s resurgence in Italy not only strengthens Milan’s title hopes but also boosts the profile of American players abroad. With the USMNT star delivering on the biggest stages, fans will be watching closely as Milan chase cup glory in the coming weeks.
