It had to happen eventually and on Saturday, Christian Pulisic became the first male American to play in and win a European Cup as Chelsea, who was a big underdog, took down Manchester United by a score of 1-0.
This is the first time Chelsea has won the Champions League since 2012.
Pulisic was used as a reserve in the game, not entering until the 66th minute, and he nearly had a goal to extend Chelsea’s lead to 2-0.
Here is the moment the game ended. Watch as Pulisic falls to the field in pure joy.
