MEXICO CITY — Kissing the posts of his goal after an emphatic 3–0 World Cup win. Embracing fellow goalkeepers Raúl Rangel and Carlos Acevedo, who encouraged the crowd at the Estadio Azteca to keep chanting his name. Taking a knee to soak it all in, as tears flowed down his face. Then, being hoisted by the entire Mexico national team squad who promptly threw him in the air. What a way to ride off into the sunset for legendary Mexico goalkeeper, Guillermo Ochoa.
On the eve of Mexico’s second group stage game of the 2026 World Cup, reports surfaced confirming the curly-haired goalkeeper is headed for retirement. The news came as little surprise considering he’d already announced the 2026 World Cup would be his last dance with El Tri, the squad that kept him going.
