At 18, Christian Pulisic is building quite a name for himself.
Well-known in America and emerging in the Bundesliga, the Borussia Dortmund attacker is garnering acclaim everywhere after a star run in BVB’s 4-0 UEFA Champions League defeat of Benfica on Wednesday.
[ WATCH: Pulisic’s assist, goal ]
Pulisic had a pair of UCL assists coming into Wednesday’s second leg, and BVB entered the match down 1-0. But he flicked a corner back post for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s opener before scoring the eventual tie-winner.
“It’s incredible,” Pulisic said. “To score a goal is always a delight but especially in a big game like this is even better.”
“I saw Pisczek with the ball and I know I just have to make those runs in behind. He slipped a perfect ball. The goalie came out strong and I kinda flipped it over. It was so much relief. What a feeling.
Pulisic was also asked about how Americans react when he does well abroad.
