Christian Pulisic (forward for AC Milan and the United States national team) has equaled his worst goalless streak, failing to score in 16 consecutive matches for the club after a 0-0 draw against Juventus on Sunday. This streak includes eight scoreless games for the national team, with his last goal dating back to December 28, 2022. The match at San Siro featured limited chances, with Juventus midfielder Khéphren Thuram having a goal disallowed for offside and AC Milan's Alexis Saelemaekers hitting the crossbar. Pulisic was substituted in the 60th minute, visibly frustrated. Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri acknowledged the difficulty of the situation for Pulisic, emphasizing his sensitivity and the challenges posed by the team's current formation. Despite the struggles, Allegri expressed confidence that Pulisic would contribute positively by the end of the season. The draw leaves AC Milan in third place in Serie A, likely securing a Champions League spot, but they trail leaders Inter Milan by 12 points. The US national team, co-hosting the World Cup with Mexico and Canada, will begin their campaign against Paraguay on June 12.
