The Battle of The Heavyweights

🤺⚖️ In recent memory, there has been no rivalry that matches up to a Manchester City vs Liverpool match. What makes this game so special? Without fail, whenever City and Liverpool meet, the stakes are always high. This Sunday, first place Liverpool will be hosting second place rivals, Manchester city, and there is only one point separating the two. This can only mean one thing: Expect fireworks. Klopp has already announced that he will be leaving at the end of the season, so this will be the final meeting between the two heavyweights in premier league play. Check out this weekend’s preview.

USMNT-AC Milan Christian Pulisic

🤩🎵 There goes my hero, watch him as he goes. The young lad has most certainly taken Serie A by storm. After his breakthrough move to AC Milan from Chelsea just this past summer (July 13, 2023 to be exact), he has embraced the challenged and has been righteously thriving. The PA native pulled up to the scene and found the back of the net on his Serie A debut against Bologna, making him the first American to score a goal in three of Europe’s Top 5 Leagues. Pulisic’s been playing a big role in AC Milan’s fight for both Serie A and UEFA Europa League.

🟥 🟥 🟥 In last three matches, Pulisic has drawn three red cards in favor of AC Milan. Earlier this month, AC Milan snagged a 1-0 victory over Lazio, where the American drew 2 out of 3 red cards out of Lazio’s starting XI, helping lead the way in a chaotic Serie A win.

• Earning a yellow card for dragging the former-Borussia Dortmund man to prevent a chance on goal, Luca Pellegrini earned a second yellow moments later… prompting chaos from protesting Lazio players, all to no avail

• Milan found the back of the net as Noah Okafor pounced, banking a shot off Ivan Provedel's hands after two successive saves, where Matteo Guendouzi earned Lazio’s third red card altering ripping down Pullisic.

📔☠️ Death Threats to Puli Puli after Lazio victory. Milan's 1-0 victory over Lazio didn't come without its fair share of action with Noah Okafornetting the winner in the 88th minute. And that's just where the drama started. There was also a brawl that broke out in stoppage time and death threats sent Christian Pulisic's way after the wild affair. 

• Online the Rome club's supporters directed various horrendous insults at him on social media including death threats, especially for the first red card to Luca Pellegrini. Allegedly, Pulisic was the instigator, but Pellegrini pulling Pulisic down was the offense that was carded

• There were also plenty of messages of support for the American, including from Milan teammate Théo Hernandez, who wrote, 'Puliiiii I am your security’.
