WHAT HAPPENED? The USMNT side emerged victorious in the CONCACAF Nations League Finals beating neighbours Canada 2-0.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Pulisic himself had a scintillating tournament despite struggling at the club level with Chelsea. The former Borussia Dortmund star was awarded the accolade of the Tournament's Best Player as he can be seen holding the golden ball in the picture. The quick player also quoted DJ Drama's song 'Forever' in his caption as he wrote: "Took big steps to get here my euro is different!," which is picked up from the American's DJ song released this year.

WHAT NEXT FOR PULISIC? The 24-year-old will look to carry on his form in Chelsea's pre-season tour to the USA. With the Blues signing multiple forwards like Christopher Nkunku and Nicola Jackson, Pulisic will have a massive opportunity to prove his worth to new manager Mauricio Pochettino in his home country.
