USMNT stars to meet in Champions League round of 16
The round of 16 UEFA Champions League draw has some intriguing fixtures involving US internationals.
The UEFA Champions League draw for the round of 16 took place earlier today and the fixtures have been finalised, with players from the USA national team once again facing off against each other. Gio Reyna could come up against US team-mates Sergiño Dest, Malik Tilman and Ricardo Pepi, who are currently part of the PSV squad that is top of the Eredivisie.
Borussia Dortmund will face Peter Bosz’s PSV side in one of the most evenly matched ties on paper. The Germans topped the ‘group of death’, which had PSG, Milan and Newcastle, while the Dutch side were second in their group, below group winners Arsenal.
If Gio Reyna decides to leave Dortmund in the winter window, in search of more minutes in Europe, he would of course miss the last 16 clash.
The draw once again paired Reyna against his national team team-mates. Last year it was against Chelsea, a club with USMNT star Christian Pulisic, who only played in the second leg.
In 2020-2021, the round of 16 also featured a match between players from Gregg Berhalter’s team, Timothy Weah with Lille and Pulisic with Chelsea. The Londoners won 4-2 on aggregate, with Pulisic scoring in both matches.
Four US players have qualified for the Champions League round of 16 with their teams.
