The UEFA Champions League is coming to an end, this week the second leg matches of the final season were played. However, many years have passed since a Mexican soccer player was in these situations.
Very few were able to be at this level, in fact, the last Aztec player who was able to do that was Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, who was a striker for the Real Madrid team.

It has been nine years since Hernández was with Madrid in that position. At that time, the meringues faced Juventus from Turin and unfortunately for the Mexicans, the Italians won with a score of 3-2, Chicharito only played 50 minutes.
But it is worth remembering that this is not the first time that Javier is part of a team that is in the semi-final, because he already did that with Manchester United, especially in the clash against Schalke 04.
Although, it is worth remembering that he is not the only national player who played in the semifinals of one of the most prestigious competitions in the world, such as the Champions League.
Four Mexicans have been in this situation:
- Hugo Sánchez: He is the Mexican footballer who has played the most semi-final matches, with five matches.
- Rafael Márquez: Another man who had a great career and his time with Barcelona saw him in four semi-final appearances.
- Carlos Vela: Although his time with Arsenal was short-lived, it did allow him to reach the semi-finals with the Gunners.
