AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic has admitted that it is hard to pick his favourite position as he reflected on a memorable night against Real Madrid.
Milan took the lead at the Santiago Bernabeu early on and Pulisic had a hand in it as his near-post corner found Malick Thiaw’s head, but then Vinicius Junior won and converted a penalty to level things not long after.
The Rossoneri would roar back and score two more goals to claim a famous win. The first came from Alvaro Morata as he pounced on a rebound just before the break, then after that Tijjani Reijnders fired in from close range.
It is not only a win that propels Milan up the table in the Champions League but also gives them a bit of belief after a difficult start under Paulo Fonseca.
Pulisic was interviewed by CBS Sports after the full-time whistle and he gave his thoughts on what was a memorable European night for the Rossoneri.
“Amazing result for us. I mean to come here and play is, of course, not easy [because of] their history in the Champions League,” he said.
“A tough place to come and play, so for us to put on a performance like that and win the game, obviously a really special night for us.
“My favourite position? It’s hard for me to choose a position, anywhere in the offensive third where I can attack and help my team score, I like it. This year I’ve also played a lot in the centre. I’m very versatile. I can’t tell you what my favourite position is.
“Our coach just said enjoy tonight, we got to rest up tomorrow because we’ve got a big game coming this weekend and if we don’t win that one then this doesn’t mean anything. So we’re going to try to enjoy as a team tonight, have a little celebration, but tomorrow it’s right back to work.”

I dont get it? Sure the 2 first games of the season was a rough start, but since then we play very good. Even against Leverkusen, Fiorentina and Napoli we could have won because we played way better than them. But football is not always fair.
Stay strong and Forza Milan ❤🖤
