Even with Coppa Italia loss, Christian Pulisic has had the best-ever season by an American in Europe

Milan is one of the world's most iconic clubs, and Pulisic's performance has been a bright spot in a disappointing season

If AC Milan didn't redeem their lost season in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna on Wednesday, it was no fault of Christian Pulisic's.

As his teammates failed to grind down their tightly packed opponents in a 1-0 loss, owing to Dan Ndoye's second-half goal, the American did all he could, just as he has all season, toiling and pressing and charging after balls hopeful and hopeless alike.
