Pulisic set a record in the Champions League
Participating in the Chelsea 4-4 draw, midfielder Christian Pulisic became the most played American in the Champions League.
The night of 5/11 was Pulisic’s 24th match in the Champions League. The 21-year-old midfielder has 22 times to play in Europe’s most prestigious arena in Dortmund colors. He left the German club in the summer of 2019 to join Chelsea for a fee of $ 75 million.
The second match in the Champions League for Chelsea helped Pulisic break the record of compatriot Jermaine Jones, who played 23 games in this arena for Schalke and Leverkusen. DaMarcus Beasley ranked third in the list of Americans playing in the Champions League, with 22 appearances for PSV and Rangers.
The more Pulisic plays, the more effective he is in Chelsea colors
In the match against Ajax, Pulisic made a mark when he brought in a penalty in the fifth minute, helping Jorginho equalize 1-1 for Chelsea. The home side were then 4-1 down by Ajax, but kicked off in the last 30 minutes to equalize 4-4. Chelsea, Ajax and Valencia all got seven points after four matches in Group H, while Lille got one.
Pulisic has scored twice in the Champions League, both in Dortmund. The US midfielder scored four goals in Chelsea’s last two Premier League matches, including the perfect hat-trick against Burnley. In that match, Pulisic scored with his left foot, his right leg and his head. He was the youngest Chelsea player to set up a hat-trick in an official match. This football striker is said to be full of energy, plays quite well and supposed to get further in his career.
After the Ajax draw, Chelsea will stay at Stamford Bridge at home on 9/11, Frank Lampard’s teachers and students are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League, equaling the points of the third team Leicester and two points behind Manchester City. Let’s wait to see the result of this competitive match!
