WHAT GIO REYNA SAID
Speaking to after the final, Reyna said, "I love him to death. I’ve had my tough moments with injuries a few years ago and I know what it takes and how hard it is. I’m just so happy for him. He’s so important to the team as a leader and obviously, as a player, you saw his performance tonight. Unfortunately, he was on minutes restriction. I would have loved to have him a bit more but I just love him. Hopefully, we can help build our relationship on and off the field for the next 10 years."
