Christian Pulisic like Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
The first derby ever coached by Allegri was decided by the Swedish number 11 in 2010. Fifteen years later, on 23 November 2025, the team wins 0-1 again through a goal from a number 11 in his first derby since Allegri’s return. Corriere dello Sport highlights the odd link.
After a rough spell marked by injury and a poor performance in Parma, the American raised his level against Inter and pressed a strong defense. Technique, speed, quality, and presence in the box. He scored and produced several shots on target that worried Sommer and his teammates. The goal came down to positioning, as Pulisic himself says with modesty.
The USMNT star now sits at five league goals, matching Calhanoglu and Orsolini among the top scorers in Serie A. He also tends to enjoy these matches. Each time he scores, Milan win the derby. This unusual pattern goes back to last season’s 1-2 led by Gabbia and to the emotional 2-3 in the Italian Super Cup final in Riyadh, as relayed via those at Milan Press.
