Former Blues seeking refuge from the poorly managed football club have found solace in San Siro, particularly Captain America himself, Christian Pulisic.

In the larger context, Pulisic’s goal in AC Milan’s comfortable victory over Lecce on Saturday may not hold much significance.
The Rossoneri have little chance of winning Serie A. In truth, their main objective at this stage of the domestic season, with Champions League qualification almost secured, is to prevent their despised city rivals, Inter, from winning the league in the upcoming derby on April 22.
Nevertheless, Pulisic’s goal at the Giuseppe Meazza was met with enthusiastic celebrations from Milan’s players, coaching staff, and supporters. Why? Because it symbolized his remarkable improvement and increased importance as a player since joining San Siro last summer.
Even the club’s kit man, Hesham Hassan, took to social media after the game to highlight Pulisic’s ability to score with his supposedly weaker left foot, a testament to his popularity.
In a quick response, the 25-year-old posted, “Hahaha I always listen!” And who could argue with that? Pulisic wouldn’t be experiencing the most fulfilling phase of his club career if he didn’t possess such attentive qualities.
