Chelsea achieved a categorical qualification to the Champions League quarterfinals last Wednesday by beating Atlético Madrid 2-0 in London and finishing the series 3-0 in an aggregate result. And for that to happen, a lot had to do with the performance of American Christian Pulisic, who set a historic mark for a player from his country.

The Wonder Boy entered in the 76th minute of the match played at Stamford Bridge, instead of Hakim Ziyech, and had his highlight near the final whistle, when he provided assistance to the Brazilian-Italian Emerson Palmieri to decree the final 2-0 against the Colchoneros.

With just over 17 minutes on the court, Pulisic became the first American player to reach four goals and six passes in Champions League history, a record that may continue to extend into the quarterfinals of the continental tournament.

Adding his seasons in both the Blues and Borussia Dortmund, the attacker has played 31 games in this prestigious tournament, starting only in 20 of them; His four goals were two in each squad, and his assists were divided between both teams in three.
