Jose Antonio Reyes Lopez, 17, a standout for Juvenil B and a rising star in Real Madrid's academy, experienced a major moment when he joined first-team training under Carlo Ancelotti’s guidance.

Reyes Lopez, born in Madrid in 2007, is the son of the late legendary player Jose Antonio Reyes, and he is already making waves as one of the academy’s most promising players.

This training session marked a big step in the young forward’s career. Recently turning 17, Reyes is already a regular in Spain’s U-17 squad and a starter for Juvenil B. It’s a rare opportunity, as Juvenil B players are generally not called to train with the senior team, making his involvement a significant achievement.

Reyes joined La Fabrica in 2019, initially playing with Infantil B after starting his youth career at Leganes. Since then, he has consistently demonstrated his skill and determination, rising through each level in Real Madrid’s academy.

The Madrid-born player, who signed his first professional contract with Real Madrid last year and renewed his contract with the club less than a week ago, shared his enthusiasm on social media, thanking the team for their trust and expressing his pride in belonging to "this great white family."
