Pulisic reacts after penalty miss against Juventus: “It kills me to let this club down”

Christian Pulisic has published a message on social media after missing a penalty against Juventus on Sunday night.

In the 52nd minute of the eventual 0-0 draw, Milan were given a spot kick. A ball clipped over the top from Luka Modric was about to be met by the run of Santiago Gimenez but he was bundled over by Lloyd Kelly. The referee gave the penalty, yet Pulisic lifted his effort over the bar.

On Instagram, the USA international has written: “It kills me to let this club down. Will work 10x harder to make things right. Forza Milan sempre.”

There is certainly no chance of Milan fans holding it against him given his incredible start to the season, with eight goal contributions in eight games across all competitions.

Milan’s penalty pain has continued though: they have missed seven of 13 spot kicks since the start of 2024, the highest percentage of any club in the ‘top five’ European leagues.
