McKennie isn't the only American playing in that crowded place atop Serie A. Pulisic and Milan are right there, too, and their title hopes will depend on a marquee match of their own this weekend.
Milan are set to face Roma, who, entering the weekend, are fourth in the league on 42 points. Milan, meanwhile, are second on 46, three points behind crosstown rivals Inter at the very top. Inter are very likely to get three points from their match against relegation-threatened Pisa, which means there's plenty of pressure on Milan to match as they visit a fellow Serie A elite.
Like Juventus, Milan depend heavily on their American star and have largely been just fine despite a dip in form for Pulisic. That "dip" is relative, of course. He's scored just one goal in his last six starts, a downswing for him, but he still leads Milan with eight goals and two assists so far this season. He's yet to score in 2026. This weekend would be a good time for a Milan team that needs to raise its level to keep its Scudetto hopes alive.
