Three of the U.S. men's national team's top rising talents enjoyed historic achievements over the weekend, which is something that may become more of a regular occurrence as the various 2020-21 seasons across Europe materialize.
With a growing number of U.S. players signing for and contributing to some of Europe's more elite and storied clubs, there are bound to be more firsts and other significant moments popping up. Over the last couple of days, they just so happened to occur for Americans at Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
It wasn't all roses, naturally. Tyler Adams, who had the bulk of his 2019-20 season derailed by injury, was out for RB Leipzig with what was deemed to be "a minor back injury," while Weston McKennie was on the bench for a game that simply never happened.
