Background
AC Milan are an Italian football club based in Milan, currently relevant to the 2026 World Cup buildup through Christian Pulisic, the USMNT captain who plays for the club. Pulisic's last goal for Milan was on 28 December 2025 against Hellas Verona. His drought passed 100 days on 6 April 2026, when he came on as a late substitute in Milan's 1-0 defeat to Napoli , not as a starter. His combined club and country drought now spans well over 20 games, placing him under intense scrutiny as the United States host their own World Cup.
AC Milan were founded in 1899 and are one of the most decorated clubs in world football, with 19 Serie A titles and 7 UEFA Champions League trophies. They share the San Siro (Stadio Giuseppe Meazza) with city rivals Inter Milan. Milan experienced a major revival under Stefano Pioli, winning the 2021-22 Serie A title , their first league championship in 11 years. Pulisic joined the club from Chelsea in 2023 and was a consistent performer in his first season.
The Pulisic situation puts Milan in an unusual spotlight for an international tournament. A player who is both their attacking midfielder and the captain of a 2026 World Cup host nation has not scored in well over 100 days, including a defeat to Napoli in which he was not trusted to start. USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino has declared himself 'more positive now than before' despite his side conceding seven goals across two March matches , but the pressure on Pulisic to rediscover form before the tournament opens is acute.
