Pulisic said: “The Bundesliga is a very strong league. Every weekend you’re playing a great game, whether it’s a team in second place or a team in last place. You know you’re going to have a fight out there. I’ve learned so much.”

“Obviously Borussia Dortmund is such a big club. I’ve been given a great opportunity. It’s been so much fun.”

“It really is, it’s a fight every week, in every game, even in training. Simple competition like that, working for your spot. It’s helped me to learn a lot.”
