A footballer's career can change unexpectedly from one day to the next, as happened with an América player who, in a friendly match between the Aguilas and Real Madrid, came to the attention of Carlo Ancelotti, but nobody today remember him in México.
In a friendly match between club América and Real Madrid, played in the summer of 2022, the young Mauricio Reyes made his presentation on a big stage and gave a great performance on the left side, dazzling everyone with his abilities, including the coach of the Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, who was amazed with the game of the footballer formed in the inferiors of the Aguilas.
On that same pre-season tour, Mauricio Reyes also gave a great game against Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea, in that game, the young footballer rose to the occasion and, in a great way, with remarkable technique and knowledge of the game, withstood the attacks of players of the stature of Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz.
Surprisingly, and when it was believed that after that match Mauricio Reyes would make the leap to the first team and establish himself in the team led by Fernando Ortiz, the club made the decision to loan him to Cancún FC, a team from the MX Expansion League. , going from facing teams of the stature of Real Madrid and Chelsea to facing modest teams that play in what is the Second Division of Mexican soccer.
Throughout history, Águilas and Madrid have met 5 times, 4 of them in friendly matches and only once in an official duel (2016 Club World Cup). The balance of the matches between América and Real Madrid is remarkably favorable for those from Spain, who have beaten the Mexican team 4 times and have only recorded a draw.
