Christian Pulisic is an American professional soccer player who plays as a winger and attacking midfielder for Serie A club AC Milan and the United States national team. Regarded as one of the best North American players of all time, he is nicknamed \"Captain America,\" and he is known for his dribbling, directness, and playmaking.

Born and raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Pulisic began his professional career at Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, where he progressed quickly through the team's youth academy, featuring in only 15 youth games. He was then promoted to the senior team in January 2016, at age 17. He featured sparingly in his first season at the club, but his involvement began increasing dramatically in the following season, where he was a mainstay in the Dortmund team that won the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal. His performances made him runner-up of the 2018 Kopa Trophy; presented to the world's best player under the age of 21.

In January 2019, Pulisic moved to Premier League club Chelsea in a transfer worth $73 million (£57.6 million), making him the most expensive North American player of all time, and began playing for the club in the 2019–20 season. During the following season, he won the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League, and became the first American to play in a Champions League final. In the 2021–22 season, he won the 2021 UEFA Super Cup and 2021 FIFA Club World Cup. Pulisic moved to Serie A club AC Milan in June 2023, beginning in the 2023–24 season and won the 2024–25 Supercoppa Italiana. He was named in the Serie A Team of the Season for both 2023–24 and 2024–25.

Pulisic played for the United States at under-15 and under-17 levels, before making his senior national team debut in March 2016 at age 17. He became the youngest player ever to captain the United States national team at age 20. At the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Pulisic was named the best young player of the 2019 tournament. He won the CONCACAF Nations League in 2021, 2023 and 2024, winning the best player award of the 2023 tournament.
