Weston McKennie scored a much-needed goal as Juventus could only muster a point against Lecce in Serie A action.
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.
Yunus Musah has joined Atalanta Bergamo on a one-season loan from AC Milan, with an option to buy next summer. The 22-year-old midfielder aims to bolster a transitioning squad after Atalanta’s coaching change. Musah’s versatility also addresses defensive gaps, and he is the first American player for the club amid their continued European competition.
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.
Gio Reyna’s potential transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Parma is in advanced negotiations, with a fee expected between €8-10 million. Reyna seeks regular playing time after struggles at Dortmund, and a move to Serie A is seen as beneficial. Gladbach shows late interest, but Parma is favored to finalize the deal soon.
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.
A pair of missed penalties by Christian Pulisic’s AC Milan teammates doomed the team to a narrow loss to Fiorentina despite his fifth score of the season, while Weston McKennie and Juventus also had a disappointing weekend marked by wasted chances.
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.
Gianluca Busio and Christian Pulisic were both on-point for their respective teams in weekend Serie A action, with Venezia earning their first win of the season over Genoa, and AC Milan taking a remarkable victory over reigning champions Inter.
