Pulisic’s penalty kick record increases Milan regret | OneFootball

Christian Pulisic has never missed a penalty for club or country, so Milan coach Paulo Fonseca was distraught that the USMNT star didn’t take spot kicks against Fiorentina on Sunday.

Fonseca’s Milan lost 2-1 against Fiorentina on Sunday, seeing Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham miss one penalty kick each.

The Rossoneri boss was fuming after the final whistle, saying he didn’t know why his players decided to change the designated penalty kick taker, Pulisic.

Pulisic’s penalty kick record increases Milan regret

The American star’s record from the spot further enhances Milan and Fonseca’s regrets, given that the ex-Chelsea winger has never missed a penalty in his career.

Pulisic converted nine spot kicks for the USMNT and one for Milan in a recent Serie A victory over Venezia. Therefore, fans and pundits in the USA were surprised not to see Pulisic take at least one of the two Milan penalties in Florence last night.

At the same time, Fonseca warned his players it must happen “never again” that they change the designated penalty kick taker during a game.
