- 4 years ago
American actor Matthew McConaughey praised fellow citizen Christian Pulisic on Tuesday night, after his performance as Chelsea beat Lille 2-1 at home in the Champions League.
The 50-year-old is no stranger to Premier League matches, as he revealed he "went to an Arsenal game" before attending the match at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
He admitted that the sport "won't ever take over American football or American basketball" in the states, but with the likes of Pulisic and "youth soccer" the sport could see more American stars.
Goals from Tammy Abraham and Cesar Azpilicueta helped Chelsea to victory - putting them joint top of Group H and through to the knockout stages of the competition.
