– Christian Pulisic made history for his fatherland on Saturday when he came on for Chelsea to become the first man from the United States to play in a Champions League final.
– The USMNT international started on the bench as the Blues looked to take down Manchester City in Porto.
– And he saw action in the second half with Thomas Tuchel’s men in a commanding position.
– The Blues defended the strike before half time from Kai Havertz on Sunday evening.
– No US national had ever played before in the men’s final, but it is not the first piece of history Pulisic has made on his way to the showpiece.
– Back in April he became the first American to net in a Champions League semi-final with his strike against Real Madrid, setting the Blues off to a fine start in a tie they would eventually win 3-1 on aggregate.
