Besides Hugo Sánchez, Mexico has great goalscorers in the ‘Old Continent’.
While the great Mexican reference has always been Hugo Sánchez for the pentapichichi and playing for Real Madrid, there are other El Tri killers who have scored a significant number of goals in Europe over the decades.
Strikers like Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández or Raúl Jiménez have scored numerous goals in their professional careers on the European continent, but none of their achievements compare to those of the Pumas youth side.
