"I played against Argentina and we suffered that day," Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic said in an interview with The Athletic (h/t Goal).
"We were 2-0 down at half-time and Lionel Messi was incredible. I came on at half-time thinking, 'Oh no, this will be fun'.
"We lost 4-0. Messi and I were chosen for random doping tests after, so I was sat there next to him trying to be cool, aged 17.
"I told our doctor to get my phone. I had to get my phone to have a picture taken with him.
"We couldn’t really communicate and I was too nervous to try and speak to him, but I had to ask him for a photo by gesticulating.
"He was really nice about the whole thing. He probably gets it a lot, just maybe not in those circumstances," Pulisic added.
