On 28 October 2014, Christensen made his professional debut in a League Cup match against Shrewsbury Town. He was then loaned to Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2015 and spent two seasons in the Bundesliga, where he quickly established himself as a key player, earning the title of player of the season and becoming one of the most promising defenders in European football.

In 2017, Christensen returned to Chelsea and became an integral part of Antonio Conte’s team. In recent years, he has played a crucial role in Chelsea’s success, helping them to their first-ever Champions League and Club World Cup titles.

Christensen has represented Denmark since 2015 and has amassed over 50 appearances. He was also part of the Danish squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and helped them to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2020.
