Gio Reyna scores on his return and starts to build momentum at Strasbourg vs PSG

Gio Reyna (Strasbourg) returned to the starting lineup and capped it with a goal this Saturday against Paris Saint-Germain, in a match that ended with PSG taking all three points. As The Guardian points out, the goal is a sign that the American is finally getting the consistent playing time he’d lacked.

The context is the injuries that disrupted his early momentum: after his 2020-21 breakthrough in Germany, he spent several seasons struggling to cross the 630 league-minute mark. This term, though, Reyna has become a regular in a youthful Strasbourg squad, whose average age is 21.6.

Reyna also addressed his focus during the most recent US window, saying: “Keep showing up every day, training, recovering… I feel good, though, and I’m feeling more confident every time I step on the pitch”. He was the only player to start all four friendlies in the September/October international window, before being managed at club level and then restored for the PSG visit.
