United States men’s national team stars Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah helped Juventus win the club’s 15th Coppa Italia title with both players featuring in a 1-0 victory vs. Atalanta on Wednesday.

Despite seeking the trophy for the 15th time, Juventus were the underdogs coming into the match against an Atalanta side seeking their first Coppa Italia since 1963.

Juventus haven’t had the best 2024 so far with a rough stretch of games, failing to win their previous six heading into the final.

French striker Olivier Giroud confirmed Monday that he will depart AC Milan to join MLS when his contract expires this summer.

There have been previous reports that the 37-year-old former World Cup champion plans to join countryman Hugo Lloris at LAFC.

OFFICIAL: Olivier Giroud leaves AC Milan at the end of the season as he’s joining MLS side LAFC.

It’s the end of an era for Giroud in Europe, now set for MLS move.

Christian Pulisic found the back of the net twice during AC Milan’s 5-1 victory vs. Cagliari on Saturday for his 14th and 15th goals in his debut season 

Despite being second in the league Milan haven’t had the best end to their season. The Italian side failed to win their previous six games, manager Stefano Pioli announced he’s leaving at the end of the season and the ultras are boycotting and not attending games at San Siro.

Christian Pulisic had a notable performance with AC Milan against Genoa this Sunday, giving the game-winning assist for his club in the closing minutes of the game… that was later ruined by an own goal to lose the three points at home.

Pulisic started for rossoneris in the 35th Matchday of the Serie A, with the American playing in the No. 10 role whose main duty was to create opportunities for his teammates in the attacking front and having the freedom to create some of his own.

ROME, April 23 (Reuters) - A late goal by striker Arkadiusz Milik sent Juventus into the final of Coppa Italia with a 3-2 aggregate win over Lazio despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their semi-final on Tuesday.

Juventus beat Lazio 2-0 at home in the first leg but forward Valentin Castellanos levelled the tie when he scored twice by the 48th minute, before substitute Milik netted the decider from close range seven minutes from time.

With VAR’s introduction to the world of soccer it’s become incredibly rare when a goal that shouldn’t count stands. That was the case on Thursday with a failed offside call during Roma’s 1-0 victory vs. AC Milan in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.

The peculiar situation happened in the first half when Roma sprung an attack through Romelu Lukaku who appeared to be in an offside position.

A fantastic Christian Pulisic goal vs Lecce on Saturday opened the scoring of AC Milan’s 3-0 victory and set a personal record for the American.

Milan manager Stefano Pioli gave Pulisic a new role for the Lecce game as the USMNT forward started as a center attacking midfielder instead on his usual role at right wing. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Milan’s go-to No. 10, was out for the game through suspension.

Pulisic made an early impact in his new position opening the scoring in the sixth minute with a classy finish from the top of the box.
