AC Milan player ratings vs Lecce: Pulisic tops the night at San Siro

Christian Pulišić led the way in AC Milan's 3-0 win over Lecce, earning the highest rating after scoring in the 14th minute from a Strahinja Pavlović assist. Adrien Rabiot added the second in the 61st minute, and Diego Moreira finished things off in the 73rd minute after coming off the bench.

The result was a comfortable one, and the ratings reflected that. Goal's report said Milan had 69% possession and a clean sheet, while Football Italia put the possession figure at 67% in its account of the match. Either way, Lecce spent most of the evening without much control of the ball.

Pulisic's decisive start

Pulisic's 8.9 rating was the highest on the night, and it fit the shape of the game. He scored early, gave Milan the lead inside 14 minutes and set the tone before Lecce could settle.

Football Italia also noted that it was his first start of the 2026-27 season and his first Milan goal in 2026, which adds a bit more context to how timely the performance was. Ruben Amorim was not part of the picture here; this was all about Milan's front line doing the damage.

Rabiot and Moreira kept the pressure on

Rabiot's 8.3 rating came with the second goal, and that was the moment that ended any real doubt about the result. Moreira matched him closely at 8.2, and his finish after coming on gave Milan a third scorer from a substitute.

Football Italia described Moreira's strike as his third goal in two substitute appearances. The stats side of it is just as tidy: he has three Serie A goals in three appearances, which helps explain why his cameo carried real weight. Mike Maignan only needed three saves in the clean sheet, while Milan's back line recorded 10 clearances to keep Lecce out.

Goal's match reporter summed up the night as one built on "clinical finishing and a dominant midfield display that left the visitors chasing shadows." On this evidence, that feels about right.
