Player to Watch: Diego Luna, Midfielder

Last seen in St. Louis on July 2nd, when he starred for the U.S. Men’s National Team in their Gold Cup semifinal against Guatemala, Diego Luna has been the heartbeat of Real Salt Lake in 2025. With Chicho Arango now in San Jose, Luna has stepped into the spotlight—leading RSL with 9 goals in just 26 matches. He earned his second consecutive All-Star nod this season, becoming the first RSL player in nearly a decade to do so. Luna’s mix of creativity, finishing, and grit makes him one of the league’s most dangerous young talents, and CITY will need to keep him quiet on Saturday.
