And it's worth checking the answer as the USMNT international had been on a long goal drought in Europe's biggest club tournament. 

How long has it been since Christian Pulisic's last UEFA Champions League goal? 

It has been 9 months and 22 days since his last goal in the tournament, as his last goal came on April 27, 2021, against none other than Real Madrid in the first leg of the tournament's semifinal.

In that game, Pulisic received a through ball, dominated the ball, waited to settle in front of Thibaut Courtois' goal, who he took out of his goal to take it for a ride, and scored a stunning right-footed goal. 

With an empty stand due to the COVID-19 pandemic still sweeping the world at the time and no vaccinations yet, the USMNT international showed that he doesn't panic at important moments and let Thomas Tuchel know that he could count on him for decisive goals. 

With this goal, Pulisic avenges what happened at the FIFA Club World Cup

With the goal that Christian Pulisic scored today in a UEFA Champions League match, the player had his revenge for what happened in the FIFA Club World Cup, in which despite entering the match, he could not score a goal. 

That job was done by Romelu Lukaku and Kai Havertz, to give the Blues their first title of this tournament. 

However, Pulisic proved once again today to Tuchel, that if given more minutes, he could decide the important games Chelsea have in the future. 

In addition, the goal he scored today helps Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea to go home to plan the second leg, for which they could just take care of the result, but knowing the tactical approach of the German coach, it is very unlikely that this will happen. 

Pulisic's goal today showed the best characteristics of the USMNT international: he is quick in open spaces, he can make crucial decisions in a matter of seconds and above all, he has great coordination with his teammates. 

Especially with N'Golo Kanté, who today when he had possession of the ball, did not get desperate, and even though he was rushing towards the Lille goal, he waited for Pulisic to be in position.

It was there that the French midfielder set up a pass for the American, who went on to put Lille ahead for the second leg.
