Champions League last-16 draw will see Pulisic return to Dortmund for first time

The USMNT star will return to Dortmund for the first time since a record-breaking transfer in 2019

Monday’s Champions League last-16 draw produced a host of intriguing ties, but there will be one in particular that catches the eye of American fans.

Chelsea was paired up with Borussia Dortmund, which will see two of the USMNT’s top players, Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna, square off.

For Pulisic, it will be the first time he’s faced Dortmund since joining Chelsea for $70.4 million in 2019 — by far the highest transfer fee ever paid for an American. 

Let’s look at all eight ties, which will see the first legs on February 14-15 and 21-22, with the second legs on March 7-8 and 14-15.
