All eyes will be on Manchester City and Chelsea for the men’s Champions League Final on Saturday, May 29, 2021, in Porto. The grandest annual spectacle in the sports world pits two English clubs in competition for the iconic big-eared trophy, and a USMNT player is guaranteed to win for the first time. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Champions League Final in USA.
On Monday Gregg Berhalter announced the 23 players that will represent the USMNT in Denver at the CONCACAF Nations League finals. The list comprised of four players from Major League Soccer and the other 19 scattered across Europe.
Here's the full roster.
Goalkeepers:
Zack Steffen (Manchester City)
Ethan Horvath (Club Brugge)
David Ochoa (Real Salt Lake)
Defenders:
John Brooks (Wolfsburg)
Tim Ream (Fulham)
Matt Miazga (Anderlecht)
Needing a win to be absolutely sure of being one of four Premier League Champions League qualifiers, Chelsea was garbage against Aston Villa on Sunday. But thanks to London rival Tottenham, the Blues clinched UCL qualification, backing into the top four to ensure Christian Pulisic will return to Europe’s premier club competition next season.
Has an American player won the Champions League? Yes. (Come May 29, 2021.)
It hadn’t happened before (although Ali Krieger, Gina Lewandowski and Alex Morgan have won the UWCL), but with Christian Pulisic’s Chelsea playing Zack Steffen’s Manchester City in the 2020-21 Champions League Final, the answer to that question is now a foregone conclusion.
There will obviously be some hotshots among us who’ll question the contributions of the USMNT stars. Steffen is Ederson’s understudy and only started City’s final group match against Marseille, keeping a clean sheet.
As Christian Pulisic takes over Europe with his dashing smile and unstoppable skills on the pitch, you will be surprised to hear that nobody has locked down this young American star. Similar to the way Pulisic has his way with defenders, the young American star should have his options for potential love. He has proved to look sleek with a scruffy beard for the winter to cuddle up with and looks just as nice with it shaved off — how is this soccer star single?
¡Qué final de la Liga de Campeones de Europa se nos viene, señores! Dos equipos ingleses, Chelsea y Manchester City, buscarán colocar su nombre en la cima del balompié europeo.
International players Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams lead the 40-man provisional roster submitted Monday for the CONCACAF Nations League, but longtime team standards Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore are not on the list.
“Deberíamos haber marcado cinco goles”. La frase es de Mason Mount y más o menos refleja el baile que el Chelsea le dio al Real Madrid y que le permite al equipo inglés avanzar a la final de la Champions League.
La imagen merengue sobre Stamford Bridge seguro que intranquiliza a la afición del equipo español. Sin embargo, hay otra que indigna: Eden Hazard, hoy defendiendo los colores del Real Madrid, muerto de la risa con sus ex compañeros del Chelsea, tras el pitazo final.
An American will win the men’s UEFA Champions League. It’s a bit unbelievable to type, read or say, but it’s true after a Christian Pulisic assist vs Real Madrid means Chelsea will face Zack Steffen’s Manchester City in the UCL final on May 29 in Istanbul.
No USMNT player has ever taken part in a Champions League final, and either Steffen or Pulisic will lift the big-eared trophy in just over three weeks.
How cool is that?
Just a couple guys from Pennsylvania vying to become champions of Europe.
Temporada 2018-2019: Batalla campal, remontadas épicas, consorcio de buen fútbol y dominio inglés. Liverpool derrotó 2-0 al Tottenham y se llevó el título de títulos de la UEFA Champions League. Por su parte, Chelsea vapuleó 4-1 al Arsenal y consiguió la Europa League.
