A former Chelsea player scores a remarkable "Olimpico" goal during a Champions League match.

Simon Mignolet, the goalkeeper for Club Brugge, was unable to stop a spectacular goal by former Chelsea star Christian Pulisic during their Champions League match against AC Milan. The goal was what's known as an 'Olimpico', where the player scores directly from a corner kick. It was an impressive feat for Pulisic, who had just recently joined AC Milan from Chelsea.

The United States international surprised everyone with his inswinging corner from the left, which caught Mignolet and the defenders off guard and flew straight into the back of the net. It was Pulisic's first 'Olimpico' goal of his career, and after the match, the 26-year-old was asked about it.

Pulisic humbly credited his luck for the goal, saying, "Today I was a bit lucky, but it still counts as a goal! I'm very happy. I didn't try to score directly but it was a good cross and then a nice goal came out." He also expressed his dedication to always working hard and making an impact in matches, adding, "I'm scoring a lot of goals and assists, I hope to continue like this."

The American has been in top form for AC Milan this season, with five goals and three assists in just eight Serie A matches. His manager, Paulo Fonseca, praised his performance in their recent win over Udinese, saying, "Christian's game was fantastic. This is the spirit that we must always have."

However, there have also been concerns about Pulisic's workload, as he has been playing every minute of every game. United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino shared his worries, saying, "Sometimes we need to protect, we will see, because he arrived a little bit tired." He emphasized the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the club to ensure Pulisic is in top form when needed, as he is a "fantastic player" with "enormous talent".

The match against Club Brugge was just another example of Pulisic's skill and impact on the field. As he continues to shine for AC Milan, fans and coaches alike will be eagerly watching to see what he will achieve next.
