Christian Pulisic: Raucous BVB crowd made it difficult for Atletico Madrid

DORTMUND, Germany -- Borussia Dortmund midfielder Christian Pulisic said that the "awesome" Westfalenstadion was a factor in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Pulisic, 20, told reporters after the match: "The key for today's win was that we fought until the very end. We know that when we play as we currently do, then the substitutes will come on and score more goals."

Axel Witsel scored the opener in the 38th minute, profiting from a deflection. In the second half, substitutes Raphael Guerreiro and Jadon Sancho put their names on the scoresheet with the former grabbing a brace.
