Despite putting together a career-best year, U.S. men’s national team star Christian Pulisic was excluded from The Guardian’s Top 100 male soccer players of 2025.
The list, led by Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal, recognizes the biggest stars in the sport as a way to look back on the year. Many of the faces of Europe’s top five leagues, including Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah, received a place in the top 100, but not Pulisic.
