  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Christian Pulisic continues to have a breakout season for AC Milan this campaign and arguably the biggest area of improvement has come in his corner kicks. That proved crucial against Real Madrid as Milan pulled off a significant 3-1 upset.

  The U.S. international dropped a pinpoint assist off of a corner in the 12th minute to find Malick Thaw on a headed goal to score Milan's opener. It was Pulisic's fourth overall assist of the season, in 13 matches, and continues to show his quality.
