The striker faced the Argentina legend five years ago in the Copa America Centenario, and admits that he found himself tongue-tied on the occasion
Christian Pulisic has revealed that he asked Lionel Messi for a selfie as a teenager when the two faced each other at international level - but that he was too nervous to actually speak to the forward.
The USMNT striker faced the Argentina legend five years ago in the Copa America Centenario, when La Albiceleste beat the Stars and Stripes in the semi-final en route to a silver-medal finish against Chile.
Now, Chelsea attacker Pulisic has recounted how he snagged a picture with the veteran forward after the game, despite the fact that he found himself tongue-tied in the presence of the then-Barcelona star.
