Christian Pulisic

and hes an actual american not someone born and bred overseas. pretty impressive. interesting to see if he can eventually be a regular starter at dortmund in a couple of years. no american that i can recall has been a starter on a champions league level squad though dempsey may have one year at tottenham. 

Only 15 American have played in the UEFA Champions League proper since its launch in 1992. Jovan Kirovski was the first American to play in the competition, making two appearances in Borussia Dortmund's run to the 1997 title. The farthest an American has gone in the Champions League is DaMarcus Beasley, who played for PSV in the 2005 semifinals. He leads all players with 22 appearances for PSV and Rangers.
