Christian Pulisic the star of new documentary: how to watch
‘Captain America’ has established himself as the most successful American footballer in Europe and the story has his the small screen.
Christian Pulisic joined AC Milan with the goal of becoming a key figure for both the Rossoneri and Serie A as a whole. No American footballer has ever achieved the level of success and global recognition that Pulisic enjoys today, which is why his journey has been transformed into a biographical documentary.
In an interview with GQ Sports, the player nicknamed “Captain America” shared insights into his current experience in Italian football and his leadership role within the USMNT. These themes form the core of a series produced by CBS Sports and Paramount+, which chronicles the life and career of the United States national team’s star player.
The first episode of the series premiered recently and features notable figures like Zlatan Ibrahimović and Clint Dempsey reflecting on Pulisic’s remarkable career. Born in Pennsylvania, Pulisic first captured attention with standout performances at Borussia Dortmund’s academy. He later moved to Chelsea, where he won the UEFA Champions League at just 22 years old. Now at AC Milan, he has taken on a prominent role within the team.
Fans in Italy have been quick to recognise Pulisic’s contributions. In the first episode, a Rossoneri supporter praises him, saying, “My favorite player is Christian Pulisic. In less than two years, he has become the king of Milan.”
Pulisic: A Leader for Club and Country
During the interview, Pulisic reflected on his journey from Germany to Italy and the pivotal role his father and close support system have played in his career. Despite his typically reserved personality, Pulisic is thriving in this new chapter in his career, embracing a level of attention and responsibility unlike anything he has experienced before.
No other American soccer player has reached the same heights on the international stage as Pulisic. Now, he faces the added challenge of leading the USMNT through a new cycle under coach Mauricio Pochettino, with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon. Clint Dempsey emphasised the weight of this responsibility, noting, “We’ve had players who were key figures on solid mid-table teams, but nobody has been the main player for one of Europe’s biggest clubs.”

The documentary series currently consists of three episodes, each lasting 44 minutes. The first chapter debuted on December 9, offering fans an intimate look at the life and career of one of football’s brightest stars.
