Rafael Leao’s showing on Thursday evening against Slavia Praha was arguably the closest AC Milan have gotten to seeing his best this season. However, there was some element of controversy as Christian Pulisic ‘stole’ a goal that was seemingly destined for Leao’s credit.
The Portuguese winger displayed his trickiness as he tormented a defender before chipping the ball over the goalkeeper, and Pulisic prodded the ball home to remove any fears of a defender denying the Rossoneri’s fourth.
After the game, Pulisic posted his celebration on Instagram, and the winger has cleared any doubts of his frustration after replying to the post with three handshake emojis.

I “love” that this day & age we have to decode social media emojis….
Love the way “our” fans want to make things worst between our player
This is the morons in the media. If not for them nobody would know one or two anti-Pulisic fans were trying to cause trouble.
If Pulisic had let the ball go they would have been all over him for that too.
This is Crazy, That ball was NEVER going in. Look at that Photo, The Ball wasnt even going to hit the Post.
Stolen Goal?? Every Youtuber is saying Stolen Goal. Did you not watch the replay?
IT WAS GOING WIDE
I hope Sempremilan Podcast doesnt call it a stolen goal next episode. IT WAS NEVER GOING IN WITHOUT CP11
They would have crucified Pulisic in the media if he had NOT put the ball in and it went wide. He did the right thing.
