Christian Pulisic and Chelsea win UEFA Champions League final

Hershey, Pennsylvania native Christian Pulisic was crowned a champion of Europe on Saturday thanks to a 1-0 Chelsea win over Premier League rivals Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final in Porto, Portugal.

Pulisic didn’t start the match but he was there at the end to see it out after coming off the bench in the 66th minute with Chelsea up 1-0 on a first half goal from Kai Havertz.

The 22-year-old PA Classics Academy alum nearly connected on a goal that would’ve iced the game on a counter attack seven minutes after coming on but his shot was wide of the post.
