Christian Pulisic may be Messi’s successor for an important reason

Some years ago it seemed incredible that some football players could compete in the same conditions against Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. They were the ones who scored the most goals, assists and they won the most tournaments. But there seems to be a young player who wants to compete with them and beat them. And in some ways he's already doing it.

The player is Christian Pulisic. The Ussoccer website defines the player like an “Creative, dynamic and lethal, Pulisic is one of the most exciting prospects in recent memory and the world has taken notice of the young attacker’s ascendance with the U.S”. The Chelsea player has achieved an important achievement this year.

According to Soccer.com, Pulisic has sold the most t-shirts in 19 states of the United States. The same as Lionel Messi although the Argentine player has sold more total shirts. Pulisic won by much difference to Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who has only been the one who sold the most shirts in 6 states.

In addition, the 'top 5' of sales is completed by the French Kylian Mbappé, from Paris Saint-Germain (France), and the English Marcus Rashford, from Manchester United. Other names that appear among the prominent ones are Sadio Mané (Senegal), Bruno Fernandes (Portugal)or Leandro Bonucci (Italy).
