USMNT’s Christian Pulisic appeared as a special guest on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, joining the set of the highly-renowned talk show host during AC Milan’s USA preseason tour. They will play Manchester City at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
Pulisic talked about his life coming up as a soccer player, when he realized he would become a professional soccer player, his Halloween costumes as a child and much more.
The American forward specifically spoke on the story behind his now iconic Tiger tattoo, which he frequently uses as a goal celebration by holding up the eyes of the tiger over his face.

The tattoo artist was the genius behind the making.
While on the topic of goal celebrations, however, Fallon requested that Pulisic take a break from the tiger and celebrate with something in the style of the Tonight Show if he’s able to score against Manchester City. It’s going to be hilarious if Pulisic gets on the scoresheet.

‘The Three Amigos salute’ comes from the 1986 comedy “Three Amigos!” starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase as three silent film stars who defend a Mexican town from bandits.
Let’s see if Pulisic is able to find the remaining dos amigos within the AC Milan squad to complete the hilarious celebration.
