The November international break could see Liga MX Apertura 2025 breakout star Armando González make his debut with the Mexico national team, and expectations couldn’t be higher.
Expectations couldn’t be higher for González after he scored 12 goals in the 17-game regular season to win the Liga MX Golden Boot award.
After a quiet start to the season, González took his game to another level since late August. “La Hormiga” ended the season scoring seven goals in his last six games, helping Chivas secure a sixth place finish and direct qualification to the quarterfinals.
Chivas didn’t lose a single game when González found the back of the net and he made a habit of turning up in big games, scoring the game winner in El Clásico Nacional against Club América and a hat trick against Atlas in El Clásico Tapatío—the city derby.
González’s 12 goals are the most a Mexican player has scored in a single season since Henry Martín bagged 14 for Club América in the 2023 Clausura. Uriel Antuna in 2024 is the only other Mexican to win the Liga MX Golden Boot award this decade. Furthermore, González is only the fifth Mexican player to win the award in the last 15 years.
González’s deadly form in front of goal didn’t go unnoticed, earning his first call-up to El Tri for upcoming friendly games against Uruguay and Paraguay.
