Christian Pulisic has apologised to AC Milan fans after the first penalty miss of his career, with the USMNT star enduring a “really tough week”.
The United States international formed part of the Rossoneri side that tumbled out of the Champions League following a shock knockout phase play-off defeat to Feyenoord.
He then found himself on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline against Torino in Serie A.
Pulisic had the opportunity to net his 13th goal of the season in that contest, when Milan were trailing 1-0, but fluffed his lines from 12 yards as he failed to convert from the spot – tarnishing his previously unblemished record in that department.
Pulisic remains a talismanic presence for Milan, but has posted on social media after seeing collective and individual standards slip: “Really tough week.
“Hate letting down this amazing fan base, Will give everything to finish this season on a positive note.”
