Spanish and European football correspondent

MX League Writer and SEO

📝Bio: GOAL writer since 2022. Football and sports have always been my passion since childhood. I have been fortunate to work in the media as an editor, writer, reporter, and photographer, thanks to my Communication degree at the Faculty of Higher Studies Acatlán, National Autonomous University of Mexico. At GOAL, I focus on SEO content as well as covering Liga MX and European football.

⚽ My football story: My story begins in 2004, a year that marked a turning point in my life when I witnessed Pumas’ bicampeonato, my favorite team. I also fondly remember seeing Greece’s surprising Euro win and Mexico’s historic triumph over Argentina in the Copa América group stage.

🎯 Specialized in:

Liga MX

European football

🌟 My favorite football moment:

The title won by Pumas in the Clausura 2004 in a dramatic penalty shootout against Chivas, the first I could experience with my favorite team.

  1. The fall and rise of Spanish football

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s podcast following the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game. In this week's episode, we look at how Spain went from defining an era to questioning its very place in the global game. We revisit the brilliance of the golden generation, the abrupt collapse after Brazil 2014, and the struggle of the teams that followed. And we turn to the present: a new coach, new mindset, and a wave of young talent led by Lamine Yamal, the prodigy many believe could carry Spain towards redemption in 2026. This is the journey of a team trying to rediscover itself - and the uncertainty, promise and pressure that comes with chasing a second star.
