USMNT star Christian Pulisic celebrated Milan’s Supercoppa victory with an interview in perfect Italian: ‘We’ll celebrate properly.’
The American star scored the equaliser against Inter last night, contributing to a 3-2 comeback win against Inter in the Supercoppa Final.
It was the club’s 50th title and Pulisic’s first since moving to San Siro in 2023.

“It’s amazing to win a trophy, my first with Milan,” Pulisic told Milan TV, speaking perfectly Italian.
“Not only to win, but the way we did was great. The goal? I took it well with my left foot. I’m thrilled to have scored and that we won in the end.”
Milan’s win is even more impressive considering that on December 30, they hired a new coach, Sergio Conceiçao.
“We’ve worked really hard over the last few days,” Pulisic admitted.
“The squad’s energy has changed. That is what we’ve taken on, and you saw it on the pitch the way we’ve changed in both games. We’ll also try to gain confidence from winning this title.
“We’ll celebrate properly. We deserve this today.”
Milan’s next game is against Cagliari at San Siro on January 11.
Pulisic, a former Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund star, has 10 goals and six assists in 22 appearances across all competitions this term.
