Christian Pulisic nominated for The Best award
The USMNT star has had a spectacular season and FIFA has recognised him as a nominee for the best XI.
Christian Pulisic has emerged as the star of the U.S. national team and a key figure for both AC Milan and Serie A. The attacker has compiled impressive statistics that have earned him a spot among FIFA’s nominees for the Best Midfielder of the Year.
The American is an undisputed starter under Paulo Fonseca, featuring in 12 of AC Milan’s 13 Serie A matches this season. He has started 10 of those games, playing 80% of the total minutes and contributing directly to 45% of the team’s goals. This consistency and impact have solidified his reputation as a vital player for club and country.
Who is nominated for The Best?
As for the USMNT, Pulisic wears the captain’s armband and is without doubt one of Mauricio Pochettino’s key men. He is one of the pillars on which the U.S. team has based its project to establish itself as a CONCACAF powerhouse.
Pulisic’s performances have earned him a place in the FIFA Best XI nominations for the midfield position. Pulisic is joined by 21 other players who will be voted for a place in the XI: Acosta, Almada, Baena, Bellingham, Calhanoglu, Camavinga, Foden, Ganso, Kroos, Kubo, López, Odegard, Olmo, Palmer, Rice, Rodri, James Rodríguez, Fabián, Valverde, Wirtz and Xhaka.
The players who will make up The Best FIFA Men’s 11 will be chosen through FIFA’s digital platform, where fans can create an account with which they can vote for their favourite players in each position as well as for individual awards.
