  Dortmund found themselves victorious in leg two, winning 3-1, but the Spanish side advanced to the semifinals via an aggregate score of 5-3.

  Reyna had substitute appearances in both games, but never managed to make an attacking impact as the – who were 2024 finalists and runners-up in the competition – crashed out.

  All signs are pointing to a summer exit for the midfielder, as he looks to find regular and consistent playing time at the club level ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
