In a fast-paced video, the Milan star swiftly picked his ideal players for various attributes. Theo Walcott was chosen for his speed, Xavi Hernandez for his exceptional passing skills, and former Dortmund colleague Mats Hummels for his defensive prowess. Lionel Messi naturally claimed the top spot for dribbling, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic was selected for his powerful shooting.

N’Golo Kante and Cesar Azpilicueta, former Chelsea teammates, were included for their strength and leadership respectively. In the category of ‘banter’, Pulisic humorously chose his lively compatriot McKennie.

Pulisic drew on his experiences with four former teammates for his selection, having spent significant time at Borussia Dortmund and Stamford Bridge. Despite being just 25 years old, he has already amassed an impressive 66 appearances for the USMNT.

Pulisic and his Milan side are gearing up to face Roma as they aim to overturn their Europa League quarter-final deficit following a loss at San Siro last Thursday.
