Former national player Marco Reus reached the Western Conference final with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Major Soccer League and still has the chance to win his first league title. The former Dortmund player contributed an assist in the 6-2 win over Minnesota United FC and will now face Seattle Sounders FC with the Galaxy next weekend. The winner of this match then faces the Eastern Conference representative for the championship.

“Ultimately, I came here to achieve as much success as possible with the team. If it could work in such a short time, that would be good,” Reus said. “But I know from the past that you have to work hard to get one step closer to your dream.” Galaxy is the favorite among the remaining teams. The highly rated Inter Miami team around Lionel Messi was surprisingly eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Local rival LAFC, the team with the most points in the main round of the Western Conference, lost to the Seattle team after overtime in their knockout match and is also eliminated, as is the champion in Columbus Crew title.

“At the end of the day, I don’t care if we are favorites or not. We still have two games to win. The conference final will be difficult enough, the focus is on Saturday next week,” emphasized Reus, who moved to the United States after his long-term position at BVB when his contract ended last summer The 35-year-old’s contract runs until the end of 2026. This is the first international station for the attacking player.
