"I am happy because this was an important and very difficult test against a quality Napoli side. Our first half was great, the second unfortunately saw us down to 10 men. At least we managed to practice our defending, these are situations where you can be forced to give away scoring opportunities. The lads did really well, but this is just the beginning. We must enjoy the victory tonight, then from tomorrow start to focus on the next match before the break for international duty."
"46 - Since his #SerieA debut (2023/24), Christian #Pulisic has become the player who has been directly involved in the most goals in the last three top-flight seasons: 46 (27 goals, 19 assists): overtaken Lautaro MartÃnez (45).

AC Milan secured a 2-1 win over Napoli despite finishing the match with 10 men and returned to the Serie A summit after Roma's earlier victory. Christian Pulisic assisted Alexis Saelemaekers for the opener and scored the second inside 31 minutes. Pervis Estupinan was sent off for a foul on Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Kevin De Bruyne converted the resulting penalty to set up a nervy finish, with David Neres hitting the post in stoppage time. Napoli registered 19 shots and an xG of 2.96, while Milan's defence held firm to record a fifth consecutive victory across competitions.
