Raul Jimenez Rodriguez, also known as el lobo, is a Mexican Footballer. Mexican footballers’ careers are usually very hard to start as there are so many other countries to get players from like South America and its countries. Raul Jimenez first began his career for Mexico’s biggest club and then signed for Atletico Madrid and then making his first big waves in Wolverhampton for Wolves F.C. He had his best season in 2019 with 27 goals and 6 assists. He was never the same after his horrifying injury in a game vs. Arsenal in November 2020 when he fractured his skull and has been recovering ever since and has not been the same. But, last night on March 20th, 2025, he scored a brace against Canada with two spectacular plays. On the first play he backheel passes, the ball bounces around his teammate and opponent, then he scores it with the keeper rushing towards him. 1-0 in the first minute of the match. Then he scores a beautiful goal to make 2-0 in the 75th minute. The ball whipped around the wall of Canadians and slides itself away from the pole just hitting the back of the net, so close to the woodwork. He scored 2 goals and having a performance indicative of a player of the match award. El lobo goes against Panama in the Mexico vs. Panama in the CONCACAF Nations League Final to be played this Sunday March 23 at 6:30 PM.
