Spin That Record

Caught this yesterday...

🚨🚨 Christian Pulisic entra en el 67' de la vuelta de semis de Champions. Y acaba de romper un récord: es el estadounidense 🇺🇸 con más partidos en torneos #UEFA (fases previas, #UCL, #UEL y más torneos):

... so it seemed a fine time to update another of the Americans Abroad stat categories I'll get back to at some point. I will roll on with a few more years of the "American Abroad of the Year" instant retrospective, but this bumped the line momentarily.

As you've just seen we have a new leader at the top. Everyone marked with an asterisk is active in Europe, and though I cut the list proper off at 10 several (mostly young) active players have been added. Seems likely many of those total will grow in the foreseeable future. On with the count...
