Among his own, he competed head-to-head with the best in the world.

To speak of Don Salvador Reyes is to speak, not only of a figure of the Sacred Flock, but of one of the most emblematic references in the history of Mexican soccer. His numbers, personality, quality and charisma make him the most successful youth squad that Chivas has had throughout its history.
