Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has admitted he was 'very frustrated' after being dropped for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

The American was benched in favour of Kai Havertz but came on in the second-half to help set-up Mason Mount's decisive second goal, which booked Chelsea's place in the final.

"Very frustrated," Pulisic told CBS Sports post-match. "Umm, yeah, there's not much else to say. I wanted to play from the beginning, as I always do.

"I've had to continue to prove myself over and over again. But, as always I reach out to God and he gives me strength.

"With that behind me, nothing can stop me really."
