What made the night even more special was Milan's heartfelt tribute to Mother's Day. For the second consecutive year, all players wore their mothers' maiden names on the back of their jerseys. Pulisic donned "Harlow"—his mother's surname—as a symbol of appreciation.
This initiative was part of a broader campaign by AC Milan and Fondazione Milan to honor maternal figures and support young mothers in need. Proceeds from the auction of match-worn jerseys and other fundraising efforts will aid around 70 teenage mothers through the Spazio Indifesa Hub in Milan.
The tribute extended beyond the pitch, with San Siro's stadium screens displaying Mother's Day-themed graphics and the players' maternal surnames being read aloud during the lineup announcements.
