Americans Abroad Midweek Preview: Pulisic, Weah, and more

Christian Pulisic has had fond memories against Real Madrid and the U.S. men’s national team star will be seeking to continue that success midweek at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Pulisic and his AC Milan teammates will visit Los Blancos in UEFA Champions League play this Tuesday. The 26-year-old comes into the match fresh off an 89-minute showing in Saturday’s 1-0 Serie A victory over Monza.

Although he didn’t extend his goal contribution streak, Pulisic was one of the better performers in the match, creating the most offensive chances (3), winning the most duels (8), and completing the most tackles (2).

Now he will prepare to help AC Milan pull a major shock in UCL play against the reigning European winners.

In Europe, Weston McKennie and Juventus take on Lille. Tim Weah prepares to face his former club. Cole Campbell will seek his first UEFA Champions League minutes.

In England, Haji Wright and Brenden Aaronson are among the USMNT contingent set for EFL Championship play.

In Mexico, the penultimate matchweek of the Liga MX Apertura season is here with Cade Cowell and Alex Zendejas among those in action.
