Pulisic & Sweeney: The Power Couple Taking Over Milan as “Captain America” Hits 50-Goal Involvements Milestone
MILAN, Italy — While the lights of Hollywood often shine brightest on the silver screen, today, they were firmly fixed on the San Siro. Christian Pulisic, the man affectionately known as “Captain America,” continued his scorched-earth policy on Italian defenses, leading AC Milan to a commanding 3-0 victory over Hellas Verona.
But it’s not just his right foot making headlines this week; the American superstar is reportedly weaving a high-profile romance off the pitch that has both sports and entertainment tabloids in a frenzy.
A Match Made in Heaven? The Sweeney Rumors
For weeks, whispers have circulated regarding Pulisic’s personal life. The latest buzz suggests a romantic connection with Hollywood A-lister Sydney Sweeney. While the Euphoria star and the USMNT captain have yet to go “Instagram official,” sources close to the pair hint at a growing connection that bridges the gap between San Siro stardom and Hollywood glamour.

Whether it’s a shared love for the spotlight or simply the magnetism of two icons at the peak of their powers, the “Puli-Sweeney” era is officially the talk of the town.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Unstoppable at Milan
On the pitch, Pulisic is playing the best football of his career. In today’s clash against Verona, he opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time, latching onto a deflected cross to fire home. This goal wasn’t just another stat—it solidified his status as one of the most clinical players in Europe.
Since his Serie A debut with AC Milan at the start of the 2023/24 season, Pulisic has reached a monumental milestone: 50 direct goal involvements (31 goals, 19 assists).
“He is a silent leader who speaks with his feet,” said Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri. “Christian has found his home here.”

Eyes on the Prize: World Cup 2026
As 2025 draws to a close, Pulisic isn’t just focused on domestic glory. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup looming on the horizon—hosted on home soil—the pressure is on the United States to perform.
If Pulisic can maintain this “unstoppable” form, the U.S. won’t just be participants; they’ll be legitimate threats. For now, Milanistas are happy to enjoy the show, whether it’s a clinical finish at the back post or a high-profile date in the streets of Milan.
