Marco Reus celebrates his first championship title with Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS!

Champagne was splashing and the celebration knew no bounds – Marco Reus has finally realized his big dream of his first championship title! The 35-year-old midfield star celebrated victory in the Major League Soccer (MLS) final against the New York Red Bulls with his new club Los Angeles Galaxy. The game ended in a thrilling 2-1 in front of 27,000 enthusiastic fans at the Dignity Health Sports Park. The first goals were scored by Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic in the first half, while Sean Nealls reduced the deficit for the Red Bulls. With this triumph, the Galaxy won their sixth championship title and their first since 2014, as sport.sky.de also reported.

Marco Reus, who recently had concerns about playing in the final due to adductor problems, came on as a substitute in the 75th minute. “In a normal game I wouldn’t have played,” he admitted honestly. Still, the moment was his very own Hollywood finale: "I've always worked towards reaching as many finals as possible in my career and then winning them," he explained. Despite a failed dream year with Borussia Dortmund, in which he was only runner-up seven times and missed several major tournaments due to injury, the ex-national player now experienced his personal highlight.

A new beginning in the MLS

After Marco Reus moved to LA Galaxy in the summer, he signed a contract until the end of 2026. The joy of winning the championship is particularly remarkable for him because he had never won a national championship before. “It's an incredible feeling,” said Reus after the decisive victory, which also gave him and his team the opportunity to celebrate the trophy they had won. As today.at also reported, the last few weeks in Los Angeles marked a turning point for the former BVB star, who was finally able to end his long dry spell with a championship title.
