Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Who was the first American to play 'El Clasico'?

Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Who was the first American to play 'El Clasico'? - Bolavip US

<p>To say that American soccer players are not elite anymore is just plain ignorant. In the last three seasons there has been a huge hike in USMNT players playing in the top leagues in Europe. <strong>From Serie A to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a>, and even in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a> you can find top rated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> players.</strong></p>
<p>This season a record 12 USMNT players will be a part of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Last season <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/christian-pulisic-profile-salary-net-worth-age-teams-titles-height-weight-20210505-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Christian Pulisic </strong></a>became the second American to win European Soccer’s biggest club prize. Now players like<strong> Gio Reyna, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-rumor-weston-mckennie-may-leave-juventus-3-premier-league-teams-interested-20210824-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sergino-dest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sergiño Dest</a> </strong>will want to continue to make history by becoming the third American to do so.</p>
<p>Gregg Berhalter can’t complain, he has some of his most important players playing at the highest level. This season the UEFA Champions League will be exciting to watch as fans will return to the stadiums, now with 12 USMNT players it gets even more interesting.<strong> Here is the list of all 12 USMNT players in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League.</strong></p>
<h2>Brenden Aaronson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_brenden_aaronson_crop1629987606608.jpg_22069893_f3c455a1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Brenden Aaronson (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Brenden Aaronson</strong> will be commanding the midfield for Red Bull Salzburg, in his short time there Aaronson has already established himself as one of the club’s better players. The Austrian team will look to at least get to the next round, but a good group showing could help Aaronson land a transfer to a bigger league.</p>
<h2>Tyler Adams</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_tyler_adams_crop1629987503079.jpg_22069893_4ab1693e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Tyler Adams (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Already a Champions League veteran<strong> Tyler Adams</strong> is back at the big stage with RB Leipzig of Germany. Adams has the skill and the talent to play at this level, the question is can he stay healthy for a whole season.</p>
<h2>John Brooks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_john_brooks_crop1629987421993.jpg_22069893_d7fc5f5e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    John Brooks (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The USMNT defender gets a crack at Champions League action with Wolfsburg of Germany. <strong>John Brooks</strong> is entering his fifth season with the club and is one of the best defenders of the Bundesliga.</p>
<h2>Sergiño Dest</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_sergixo_dest_crop1629987352495.jpg_22069893_9b02283d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Sergiño Dest (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Sergiño Dest</strong> had a lot of growing pains last season at Barcelona, this season is an opportunity to show that he has the talent and the perseverance to maintain a starting spot at Barcelona. Barcelona will be without Messi, and while the club has seen better days, Dest can still shine if he corrects some of the issues that plagued him last season.</p>
<h2>Weston McKennie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_weston_mckennie_crop1629987285780.jpg_22069893_c3ada7fc.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Weston McKennie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Weston McKennie </strong>was a bright spot for Juventus last season, now in his second season what kind of role will he have? That question will be answered by Massimiliano Allegri. McKennie can play at this level no question, hopefully Allegri will find a spot for the box-to-box midfielder.</p>
<h2>Owen Otasowie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_owen_otasowie_crop1629987196715.jpg_22069893_90d0b1ad.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Owen Otasowie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Owen Otasowie</strong> recently signed with Club Brugge of Belgium after playing just 6 games with Wolverhampton Wanderers. At 20, Otasowie seems to have a good future ahead of him, but if he wants to crack the USMNT, getting a starting spot at Brugge and good Champions League outings will be essential.</p>
<h2>Jordan Siebatcheu</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_jordan_siebatcheu_crop1629987108504.jpg_22069893_572fb3b8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jordan Siebatcheu (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After a great season with Young Boys on loan last season and a big goal against Honduras in the Nations League semifinal, <strong>Jordan Siebatcheu</strong> is already off to a fast start this seasonwith 2 goals in 3 games in Switzerland.</p>
<h2>Christian Pulisic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_christian_pulisic_crop1629986449252.jpg_22069893_06cafa6c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Christian Pulisic (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Last season’s Champions League winner, <strong>Christian Pulisic </strong>wants to continue to show why he is the USMNT poster boy. Pulisic already scored a goal in his first game of the Premier League season and will want to hold down a starting spot for Chelsea this season.</p>
<h2>Gio Reyna</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_gio_reyna_crop1629986991363.jpg_22069893_c920e92b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gio Reyna (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Gio Reyna</strong> had an up and down season at Dortmund last year but showed his capacity to win his starting spot back last season, while showing the talents that have him pegged as one of the best young prospects in the world. Reyna will look for this season to be his official coming out party.</p>
<h2>Chris Richards</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_chris_richards_crop1629986820449.jpg_22069893_412ca9ef.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Chris Richards (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Richards</strong> will be in the Bayern Munich squad this season, just how much he will play will depend on many factors, nonetheless it will be a season of invaluable experience.</p>
<h2>Zack Steffen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_zack_steffen_crop1629986755211.jpg_22069893_2655f542.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Zack Steffen (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Zack Steffen</strong> is Manchester City’s back up goalkeeper, hopefully Guardiola will give Zack some Champions League minutes. Steffen’s chances of playing are slim unless an injury occurs.</p>
<h2>Tim Weah</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_tim_weah_crop1629986681953.jpg_22069893_5e43a973.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Tim Weah (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The French champion will be able to showcase his skill in the Champions League, like his father before him. <strong>Tim Weah</strong> is often used as a bench option and his goal will be to be a consistent starter for Lille.</p>

Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie and the rest of the USMNT players in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League

Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie and the rest of the USMNT players in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>German Bundesliga</strong></a> season is set to kick off on August 13th, 2021, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munich</strong></a> may have two new faces on their roster before the start of the season. It’s no mystery that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-barcelona-and-manchester-united-consider-swapping-players-20210720-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> is in the red, red ink that is, due to a woeful financial situation and the Spanish club needs to unload players to balance their books.</p>
<p>According to a report out of Spanish newspaper Marca <strong>two players from Barcelona could be making a move to Germany if the price is right. </strong>Barcelona is looking to sell as many players as possible and have transfer listed various members of their squad.</p>
<p><strong>In this case the players in question are USMNT defender <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sergino-dest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sergiño Dest</a> and full-back/ midfielder Sergi Roberto.</strong> What are their chances of leaving Barcelona? Find out below.</p>
<h2>Sergiño Dest to Bayern Munich</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210730_BUS_173593_sergixo_dest_crop1627659155256.jpg_22069893_ae202a7d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Sergiño Dest (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>This is not the first time Bayern Munich has gone after Sergiño Dest</strong>, they did so when he broke onto the scene at Ajax two seasons ago, the young player and Ajax choose to keep him at the club. Dest has reportedly turned down three offers this offseason from Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, and Monaco.</p>
<p>Dest had a tough first season at Barcelona, mixing some good performances with some rather shaky outings. He did manage to score 2 goals for the club in 30 appearances but was at times in and out of the lineup. Dest did finish the season strong and while the US international has committed to stay at Barcelona, the club needs cash and a sale may have to happen. Bayern Munich may be too good to turn down for both club and player.</p>
<h2>Sergi Roberto to Bayern Munich</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210730_BUS_173593_sergi_roberto_crop1627659241924.jpg_22069893_71c90bea.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Sergi Roberto (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Sergi Roberto </strong>is a different case, at 29-years of age and with 200 appearances for the club, Roberto may have to do Barcelona a solid and move to Bayern Munich to give the team a cash flow they badly need.</p>
<p>Roberto can play as a full back and would almost certainly be a squad player at Bayern. Basically, Roberto would have to take one for the team. Last season he played 15 games and scored 1 goal.</p>

Transfer Rumor: Bayern Munich have their sights on two Barcelona players

Transfer Rumor: Bayern Munich have their sights on two Barcelona players - Bolavip US

<p>The 2020/2021 European soccer season ushered in a new era for <strong>USMNT</strong> fans,<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/the-usmnt-european-based-starting-11-20200930-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a strong group of American players playing on some of the top teams in Europe</a>. The unexpected transfer of <strong>Weston McKennie</strong> to Juventus seemed to be the icing on the cake for a fanbase starving to see their top players at the world’s elite level. The season started very promising with <strong>Giovanni Reyna</strong> playing set-up man and providing some goals for Borussia Dortmund, <strong>Christian Pulisic </strong>being one of Chelsea’s better players during a very down Frank Lampard era, or Weston McKennie scoring a spectacular Champions League goal for Juventus against <strong>Sergiño Dest</strong>’s Barcelona.</p>
<p>As the weeks progressed only <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/weston-mckennie-t137414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McKennie</a> seemed to truly maintain a consistent level of play for his club, while the other three have struggled to keep it consistent. True, Pulisic, Reyna, and Dest are young players and will go through the growing pains of up and down dips in form, the disadvantage that comes with playing for top clubs is that they rarely ride out a player’s dip in level of play.</p>
<p>While it’s not time to hit the panic button on any of these top players, it is time to examine where they are at and what they need to do to improve. Pulisic and Reyna are without any question the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> enginescome World Cup Qualification, here are these three current club situations.</p>

<p>Christian Pulisic was a DNP for Chelsea in their 2-0 victory against Newcastle on Monday. On the surface Pulisic’s EPL numbers are promising, 40 games 10 goals. When one digs a little deeper, Pulisic was one of the better players at Chelsea during the flaky Lampard era, but that did not transition to goals or assists this season. And this is a business based on numbers and at a £58 million transfer fee, and wearing the Chelsea number 10, Pulisic’s season has been dreadful. 1 goal, 1 assist, in 15 games is simply not enough to maintain a starting position in an elite club. Yes, he was injured during the season, and Pulisic has unfortunately made a career of huge dips in form followed by stretches of strong play. In a nutshell, the kid has talent, he will get more opportunities, but Pulisic must stay consistent at a club not known for being consistent even when they win.</p>

<p>At 18-years-old Giovanni Reyna is going through the growing pains of professional soccer. A very promising start to the season has gone cold as of late. Then again in Gio’s defense, Borussia Dortmund has been a sea of inconsistency, winning 10 games but losing 8 on the season. The reality is Dortmund is a place where young players perfect their craft, and Reyna has played in 20 of the team’s 21 games. Reyna has shown flashes of the talent that is yet to mature, but one thing is for certain, Reyna will be in Dortmund’s plans in the future, he just needs to find his stride again.</p>

<p>Most likely the weakest one of the three has been Sergiño Dest at Barcelona. Dest was a coach’s signing as Ronald Koeman requested the defensive back. On a team known for having world class left and right backs like Dani Alves, Sergiño Dest has been no Dani Alves. In the last few weeks Dest has not looked firm at the back for Barcelona prior to his injury. The reality is his body of work so far at a club likeBarcelona has been insufficient. A tough task to fill the shoes of some the best in the world, but if Dest wants to play at a club like Barcelona, he better up his game.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Like Pulisic, Reyna is coming on strong for Borussia Dortmund, this will only add to the experience he has gained, and it could be a coming-out party for Gio Reyna at such a high level.</p>

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/weston-mckennie-t137414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McKennie</a> as of right now is starting at Juventus and will most likely be rotating in the midfield as the schedule picks up for the Italian champions.

Who are the USMNT players participating in the 2020/2021 Champions League?

Who are the USMNT players participating in the 2020/2021 Champions League? - Bolavip US

<p>Done Deal! <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/get-to-know-sergino-dest-barcelona-and-the-usmnt-young-star-20200923-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sergiño Dest</a> is finally set to play for <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FC Barcelona</a> after passing his medical and paying an initial 21 million eurotransfer fee to Ajax.</strong> According to sources, his contract will be until the 2025 season and his release clause is set at 400 million euros.</p>
<p>The American defender had a rollercoaster year last season, he was inserted into the Ajax starting lineup and capped by the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a>. Near the end of the season, it was <strong>rumored that Germangiants Bayern Munich wanted to sign the defender and it looked set to happen until Barcelona came in and tempted the 19- year old player</strong> to the Camp Nou.</p>
<p>Dest is a defender that can either play right-back or on the left side, at Ajax he played in both positions, and on the U.S. National team, he has played at left-back. <strong>Dest was heavily scouted and even tempted to play for the Netherlands by current Barcelona manager <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/ronald-koeman-t135769" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronald Koeman</a></strong> but eventually choose to represent the United States. Dest is the son of an American serviceman and Dutch mother and earned his first cap for the U.S. in 2019.</p>

What does Barcelona get after signing Sergiño Dest? - Bolavip US

<p><strong>There are over 50 American soccer players playing in various leagues and teams in Europe.</strong> A <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/us-soccer-americans-abroad-2020-milestones-and-youth-movement-20200819-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youth movement</a> and blockbuster moves like Pulisic to Chelsea, McKennie to Juventus, and Dest to Barcelona has <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/usmnt-road-to-qatar-2022-everything-you-need-to-know-20200916-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> fans thinking this is the best player pool ever.</p>
<p>It’s hard not to argue that the U.S. has talent in every position, and this will make <strong>Gregg Berhalter’s job a bit easier knowing his top talents are playing meaningful minutes in these competitive leagues.</strong> Players like Duane Holmes and Julian Green may be in the second divisions, but can also be used as good role players when called upon.</p>
<p>Fielding a starting 11 is always hard, especially when you have options in each position. Some players will be left out, but <strong>there are 11 key players in Europe the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Top-25-US-mens-national-soccer-team-prospects-for-Qatar-2022-20200601-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> hope continueto develop</strong> and lead the team back to the 2022 World Cup.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>While Zack Steffen is not starting at Manchester City, he has already played in a cup game and<strong> the day in and day out training for a top club make it hard to argue there is another goalkeeper ahead of him</strong> in the pool.</p>

<p>Like his father before him, <strong>Reyna looks set to be the new USMNT set up man.</strong> His quick passing and field vision will look to open up spaces for speedsters Pulisic and Weah. Reyna started his season strong as he looks to break out for Dortmund.</p>
