The young winger surpassed Jermaine Jones with his appearance against Ajax on Tuesday
Christian Pulisic set an impressive record on Tuesday as the Chelsea winger earned a start in a Champions League clash with Ajax.
The 21-year-old star made his third consecutive start in all competitions for Chelsea as Frank Lampard named the American to his starting XI at Stamford Bridge.
With the appearance, Pulisic earned his 24th career Champions League appearance, with 22 of those appearances coming as a member of Borussia Dortmund.
As a result, Pulisic surpassed former U.S. men's national team midfielder Jermaine Jones for most Champions League appearances by a U.S. international, despite being just 21 years old.
Jones made a total of 23 Champions League appearances throughout his career in the Bundesliga, playing in the competition as a member of Bayern Leverkusen and Schalke.
Sitting just behind the former New England Revolution, LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids midfielder is DaMarcus Beasley, who featured in the competition 22 times for PSV and Rangers throughout his illustrious career.
Pulisic marked his appearance with an early contribution, as the American star was brought down in the box to earn Chelsea a penalty.
Jorginho stepped up and fired from the spot, although Chelsea went into the half down 3-1 to last year's semi-finalists.
Pulisic has scored two career Champions League goals, with both coming as a member of Borussia Dortmund.
The 21-year-old had scored four goals over his last two Premier League games, his first goals with Chelsea, netting a perfect hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Burnley by scoring with his left foot, right foot and head.
In that game, Pulisic became just the second American player to score a Premier League hat-trick, joining Clint Dempsey, while also becoming the youngest Chelsea player to score three goals in one match.
The winger followed that up with another goal in his next appearance, scoring in a 2-1 win over Watford to net his fourth goal of the campaign.
Following Tuesday's match against Ajax, Pulisic and Chelsea will face Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Blues currently sit fourth in the Premier League, level on points with third-place Leicester and two points behind Manchester City through 11 league matches.

I am happy with Pulisic's development and how he has been integrating into the major part of the team; he looks like a player that can score more goals; it's in his game. But, Did anyone forget to mention it was Pulisic's fault that Chelsea conceded the 4th Ajax goal. He has been good in game but Pulisic really needs to cut out that part of game where he loses the ball and costs team. Against Man Utd first game, against Burnley, against Ajax today. He loses the ball high up but the danger is that all our players are committed in opposition box, hence these costed goals....
Yap he created them goals. But does that mean he is excused from these mistakes. Even Pulisic admitted after Burnley hattrick that he was disappointed for losing the ball that led to Burnley goal. Pulisic is on the right path for sure, am simply pointing out that weak point of his that needs work.

Record after records. Pulisic Chelsea career so far. Pulisic: became the first player to score a perfect hat trick for CFC since DD did so in 2010. 2: He became the youngest CFC player to score a hat trick. 3: he became the most USA international UCL appearance. It's simple... Pulisic don't look for record... record looks for CAPTAIN AMERICA.

pulisic will become a house whole name at Chelsea because he's determined to improve every aspect of the game. he was even weaker than what he is now but gradually he will catch up and surpass many players in the premium league.

Mount was awful today. I think it started in the 80th minute against Watford when he screwed up a simple pass to Pulisic when on goal. In this match it's like he forgot how to pass, and lost team's momentum frequently. Mount has been brilliant up until then and should be rested for game vs Crystal Palace.
