The MLS player who rubs shoulders with Lionel Messi and broke a historical record

The MLS Cup Playoffs are showing a lot of talent and one of the most remarkable ones that appeared is Emanuel Reynoso. The playmaker, known as Bebelo, showed his incredible potential since his arrival to Minnesota United FC and guided his side to the Western Conference finals.

His team eliminated Colorado Rapids and Sporting Kansas City and Reynoso became the first player with multiple three-assist playoff games in the history of the local league. So far, he achieved to give his companions 11 assists after just 15 matches played, an incredible record.

Reynoso is 25 years old, and he was born in Córdoba, Argentina. That is the relationship that he has with Lionel Messi, adding a match that he played against FC Barcelona at his time at Boca Juniors. This last side signed him for $2 million on January 2018 and, two years later, sold him to the MLS.

Surprisingly, Bebelo hasn’t played any matches with Argentina national team, despite all his quality and his conditions. With a contract remaining until December 2023, it seems to be that Reynoso will have a very good time at the MLS after this promising start in which he needed no adaptation.
