The United States international left his homeland back in 2015 when linking up with Borussia Dortmund. He has gone on to spend time with Chelsea in west London – becoming a Champions League winner there – before heading to AC Milan in the summer of 2023.

Pulisic is enjoying life in Europe, but has told of the home comforts that he still craves: “American snacks and candies, normal stuff. I’ve gotten pretty accustomed to the European lifestyle, but I don’t know about Italian candy. You can’t argue about the food! Candy and sweets, though, I think they’re a little bit behind.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
‘Captain America’ has helped to break down barriers for U.S. stars in Europe and added on embracing another new challenge in Serie A: “I think they respect me here. I’ve enjoyed getting to know this league and playing here. I think in general, in Europe, the perception of Americans has come a long way from where I started. Which, it’s crazy to say, was almost 10 years ago.”

Pulisic has settled quickly in Dortmund, London and Milan, with the 25-year-old saying of those different experiences and why Italy feels like the best option so far: “It’s much more relaxed than London, slightly friendlier than Germany. They’ve been super welcoming. I’m enjoying it a lot. The support, I mean you can just feel the energy and the passion from everyone in the stadium. It’s a special stadium, for sure. I’ve been in some good atmospheres in Europe, but this is definitely the best.”
