While the team has been inconsistent, the USA captain has continued on from last season's impressive impact.
He said today from the USA's camp: "I realised that I have faced Real Madrid 8 times in my career, an incredible number in the Champions League. The last match was an incredible effort from the team, my compatriot (Yunus) Musah played a fundamental role in the challenge and everyone saw his importance for the team.
"In general, it was special to go to a stadium like the Bernabeu and come out on top."
Pulisic added, "The best part of being at Milan is playing at San Siro, where there is a special atmosphere. It is an incredible place to play, very stimulating. All the teams prepare in a special way to challenge Milan there and this makes it even more special."
