Chelsea fans were excited enough to get to see Christian Pulisic play against Kawasaki as a substitute, the fact that they got to see him from the start against Barcelona almost had a few heads exploding.
The American really impressed, showing off the match fitness he clearly still has from his Gold Cup exploits to shred a few Barca players in the first half.
His pace and trickery, interchanging sides with Pedro, caused our opposition all kinds of trouble, and it was no surprise to see social media react – and perhaps overreact a little too.
You can see a selection of the reaction here:

I’d probably give it Kovacic but Pulisic was very good
