Playing Style
Reyna is a creative attacking midfielder, with chance creation and an eye for the incisive pass as the core of his game. He plays between the lines, picks out runners, and weighs in with goals as well as assists from the half-spaces, with 9 international goals so far.
As a teenager he set a then-Bundesliga record with three assists in a single match, against Freiburg in 2020, and he scored twice in a 2024 Nations League semi-final. That creativity is the through-line of a player whose passing opens up defences.
