Mexican soccer bids farewell to one of its most iconic goalkeepers. José de Jesús Corona ends a brilliant 22-year career today, and he will do so against the team that defined his history: Cruz Azul. Corona defended the sky-blue goal for over a decade, becoming a reference, captain, and idol for the fans. Additionally, he left his mark with the Mexican National Team, being a key player in winning the gold medal in London 2012.
With an enviable track record and hundreds of memorable saves, ‘Chuy’ bids farewell to professional soccer, leaving a legacy difficult to match between the posts.
Today, the Estadio Caliente will witness his last match as a professional, a farewell that already feels historic for Liga MX and for La Máquina.
