CHELSEA star Christian Pulisic had a nightmare on holiday after falling into the sea while trying to do kick-ups on a boat.
The 22-year-old had to be pulled back on board after his showboating went wrong – and plenty of pros have taken the opportunity to troll Pulisic’s misfortune.
For some reason, Pulisic was doing kick-ups on a boat while someone was attempting to catch a big fish alongside him.
The USA international, who has just won the inaugural Concacaf Nations League with his country, was showboating over the edge.
Pulisic got confident after a dozen or so kicks and tried do the ‘around the world’ trick – but ended up making a splash.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund star was lucky to be caught by a friend and only got wet from the shoulders down.
The biggest victim of the incident was the big fish, who desperately splashed around after Pulisic caught him with his left foot.
It’s fair to say the big fish wasn’t used to that kind of tackle and the Chelsea star would have surely received a red card if he’d have committed the offence at Stamford Bridge.

His club colleagues saw the funny side of it, with Thiago Silva, Tammy Abraham and Marcos Alonso all commenting on the Instagram video with laughing emojis.
Incoming Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho also mocked his former Dortmund colleague, commenting: “Bro your playing to much [sic].”
And Caen forward Nicholas Gioacchini, Fulham defender Antonee Robinson and Barcelona star Sergino Dest had a good laugh at Pulisic on Insta.
Chelsea’s No10 made history in May by becoming the first American to win the Champions League following his team’s 1-0 win against Manchester City.
Pulisic is yet to show his best at Stamford Bridge since his move from Dortmund in July 2019, scoring 13 goals in 52 Premier League appearances.
