Christian Pulisic enjoyed plenty of memorable moments during his time at Borussia Dortmund, but the American attacker will now prepare to get past his former club this week in UEFA Champions League action.
Pulisic and AC Milan visit Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday in Matchday 2 of the UCL competition. The USMNT star is coming off a strong performance this past weekend where he scored the breakthrough goal in a 2-0 victory over Lazio. Pulisic has totaled three goals and one assist in Serie A this season, but is still seeking his first goal contribution in the Champions League for the Rossoneri. AC Milan earned one point in its goal-less draw with Newcastle in September and will seek a full three points at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night.
Elsewhere in Europe, Sergino Dest and PSV host Sevilla in UEFA Champions League play. Henry Wingo and Ferencvaros visit Fiorentina in Conference League action.
In England, Haji Wright and Coventry City welcome Blackburn Rovers to town.
