Marco Reus wants to win a second MLS Cup

For a sportsman as gifted as Marco Reus, winning is a habit, not just a one-off. Having tasted exactly what it’s like to claim the MLS Cup, he’s determined to climb the mountain once again.

When asked what his biggest ambition is during an exclusive interview with Sporf, he replied: “If you win it once, you want to win it twice. I think this club has just one goal — to win another championship. We know that last year was not our best season by far with all the problems, but it’s a new season now, we have new players, and I’m really excited for this season because we are much stronger than last year with more focus on the details.”

As the clock strikes midnight (GMT) on February 23, the 36-year-old will hope to take the first step on the way to achieving his dream once more when his team collides with New York City in its first game of the 2026 MLS season.

Marco Reus opens up about the biggest difference between playing in Europe and the MLS

From 2006-2024, Reus dazzled European football enthusiasts with his tremendous performances in Germany, notably winning the DFB-Pokal on two separate occasions with Borussia Dortmund.

However, when LA Galaxy offered him an opportunity to play in the MLS, he jumped at the opportunity. However, there have been some changes that the footballer has had to get used to.

Reus laughed: “The time difference is massive. The USA is a big country, and you’re flying five or six hours to one away game, so that’s a big difference from Europe. My first flight in Germany was just 50 minutes, and then in the Champions League, it’s two-three hours, so it makes a big difference in how you can schedule your day. You get used to it, but at the beginning it was a little bit weird.”
