Weston McKennie helped Juventus secure a thrilling 4-3 victory over Inter Milan, returning to the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Yunus Musah debuted for Atalanta in a commanding 4-1 win against Lecce. Both teams are gaining momentum as they prepare for upcoming Champions League matches.
Milan’s Yunus Musah started his last match for the team, contributing to a 2-0 victory over Lecce before moving to Atalanta. Christian Pulisic, who came off the bench, scored the second goal. In Serie B, Gianluca Busio helped Venezia secure a 0-0 draw despite a first-half red card.
In the opening of the Serie A season, AC Milan suffered a 1-2 loss to newly promoted Cremonese, with Christian Pulisic showing moments of quality but failing to impact the scoreline significantly. In Serie B, Jonathan Klinsmann excelled, securing a 3-1 victory for Cesena against Pescara. Other Americans like Gianluca Busio, Weston McKennie and Andrija Novakovich had mixed results.
Andrija Novakovich has joined AC Reggiana 1919 on a two-year contract after leaving Venezia. The American forward, who has spent time on loan at Lecco and Bari, sought a permanent move after not fitting into Venezia’s plans. Reggiana aims to improve from their 14th place finish in Serie B last season.
Christian Pulisic made it a special Mother’s Day weekend as he scored a crucial goal to help AC Milan to a come-from-behind win over Bologna to keep the Rossoneri within contention for a European place in the standings.
Christian Pulisic kept his scoring streak alive for another game to help AC Milan push to victory over Lecce, while Gianluca Busio helped Venezia take an early lead against Roma, only for the team to come away empty-handed.

Christian Pulisic’s history-making goal for AC Milan was a minor consolation in an otherwise humiliating loss for the Rossoneri against just-promoted Parma, while Andrija Novakovich did his best to give Bari a leg-up for their first points of the season, only for the team to blow it to stay winless.
Yunus Musah made the most of his short appearance for Milan, playing a key role in their comeback from a two-goal deficit, while Tim Weah’s first league goal for Juve was bittersweet, as an injury will likely keep him off the field for at least one game.
