Fourteen years after leaving Europe and Manchester United, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández made a triumphant return to his boyhood club, Chivas, in Liga MX. Hernández, who recently rejoined Chivas after his contract with the LA Galaxy expired, made his second debut against Pumas UNAM as a substitute, receiving a warm welcome from the fans at Estadio Akron.
Having recovered from a torn ACL injury that ended his time with the Galaxy, the 35-year-old striker showcased his skills once again on the field. During his stint in MLS, Hernández scored 39 goals in 82 appearances and was selected for the All-Star game in 2022.
