A spotless scoring record spanning from Guadalajara to Athens
This remarkable statistical streak underscores his natural instinct inside the penalty box across vastly different footballing environments. Prior to making the leap to Europe, González established himself as a premier marksman for Chivas de Guadalajara, netting twenty nine goals across the Apertura 2025 and Clausura 2026 campaigns while also finding the net in both the Leagues Cup and the Concacaf Champions Cup. Upon arriving in Greece, he wasted zero time scoring in the domestic cup and the UEFA Europa League before completing his flawless six competition sweep against PAOK.

With nineteen total goals recorded throughout 2026 across club and international appearances, González enters elite territory alongside celebrated Mexican exports such as Raúl Jiménez, Santiago Giménez and Javier Hernández, all of whom earned reputations for scoring in every tournament they entered. Carrying immense momentum and sharp finishing form, the rising star now turns his attention to international duty under head coach Rafael Márquez as Mexico prepares for pivotal Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal clashes against Jamaica.
