An old and well-known story. Christian Pulisic playing for the United States National Team scores in the Classic for the Mexican National Team. In his new chapter, the striker needed six minutes to take the lead for the Concacaf Qualifiers heading to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

And although the television image did not capture part of the celebration of his goal in front of the fans present at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, it was the cameras that portrayed the Chelsea player lifting his jersey and exposing a message.

"Man In The Mirror" was the phrase with which Pulisic celebrated the opening of the account, directing his darts towards the Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who in the previous said that "Mexico is that mirror in which you want to see the United States reflected".

After the celebration quickly became viral, at a press conference he was asked if that phrase had a dedication, and contrary to what many expected, he did not hide that it was directed at the Aztec goalkeeper and El Tri, although he also took it with humor.

"Everyone knows where the celebration came from, it is not necessary to cause any controversy, it was simply something that came to my head. I even wrote it on the mirror (laughs)," Pulisic emphatically assured after the United States' triumph over Mexico.
