From youth spells at Brackley Town, to gracing the hallowed turf of Stamford Bridge every week, Chelsea's US superstar Christian Pulisic has inspired a nation of budding footballers, while also living his own dream every step of the way.
Football, or perhaps 'soccer' for Pulisic and his American colleagues – whichever way you wish to look at it, has always been a huge part of the Chelsea star's life. Both his mother and father played college football during their teens, with the family's obvious affinity for the game rubbing off on their son in ways even they could never have imagined.
Now, at age 23, the former Borussia Dortmund man has joined an elite list of just two Americans to ever lift the UEFA Champions League and he shows no signs of slowing down. Having found the net 23 times in just 105 appearances for the Blues so far, manager Thomas Tuchel is already a huge fan of the American, given his 28 appearances already this season.
