Guillermo Ochoa is set to play his sixth World Cup with Mexico, marking his farewell to the national team. The 2026 World Cup serves as the former América goalkeeper's goodbye tournament, and he does so under the guidance of Javier Aguirre — the same manager with whom he experienced one of Mexican football's most memorable controversies at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Sixteen years ago, Aguirre's decision to bench Ochoa in favor of Oscar Pérez sparked one of the most debated crises in Mexican soccer. Now, with Ochoa playing for AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division, the two find themselves in the same roles — goalkeeper and manager — once again.
This reunion has raised questions about whether they have addressed the events of 2010. Azteca Deportes commentator David Medrano directly questioned Ochoa on whether he has spoken with Aguirre about being benched in 2010 to make Pérez the starter for El Tri.
