In a landmark moment for American soccer, two US teammates featured in today’s UEFA Champions League match between Serie A’s Juventus and La Liga side Barcelona: Sergio Dest lined up as right back for Barca, while midfielder Weston McKennie featured for Juve.
And just days after his first Serie A goal, former FC Dallas academy product McKennie blasted a flying volley past goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen to put his club up 2-0 after just 20 minutes of play. It was the American's first UCL goal since Oct. 3, 2018, and one of the most memorable moments ever for an American in Europe's top competition.
WESTON MCKENNIE!
The goal, the celebration
