Christian Pulisic has been lauded as "an amazing player" by Chelsea team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta, with the USMNT star called "a very important player" at Stamford Bridge.
The 22-year-old justified that billing in his most recent outing with a priceless away goal in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid.
Pulisic held his nerve against Los Blancos to produce a composed finish, with form and fitness returning for the American forward who has rediscovered his spark in what has been a testing campaign at times.
