The Milan star’s nine-episode turn on Paramount+ is most notable in that it reveals anything about the player at all

Deep into the third and most recent episode of the Paramount+ docuseries on Milan and USMNT star Christian Pulisic – with the very does-exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin title of Pulisic – a remarkable sight unfolds: the player, coaxed by his girlfriend, reveals something of himself.

Pulisic and Alexa Melton, a golfer on the second-tier Epson Tour, sit at a table in his house in Italy playing a card game. He looks uncomfortable. “What feelings are hard for you to communicate to me and how can I make it easier?” Melton asks, reading off a card.
