The all-time best XI in Club América history | OneFootball

Club América is celebrating on October 12th, the day they are turning 109 years old.

In these 109 years, the team has experienced many stories, but especially we have seen hundreds of players wear the jersey of the biggest club in Mexico.

On this occasion, we have chosen the 22 best players who have worn the América jersey, two for each position, many of them from different eras.

The ideal lineup of Club América in its 109 years of history.

In goal, without a doubt, is Héctor Miguel Zelada. There is no doubt in this position as we are talking about the best goalkeeper in the club's history; on the bench would be Guillermo Ochoa, mainly for his first stint with the team, although he didn't do badly in the second either.

In central defense, Rafael ‘Récord’ Gutiérrez, founder of Club América, and Alfredo Tena beside him. On the bench, Guillermo Hernández and Bruno Valdéz, although the latter doesn't fully convince us.

On the right flank, Paul Aguilar with Mario Trejo on the bench, while on the left, Juan Hernández and on the bench, Mario ‘Pichojos’ Pérez.

In midfield -without a doubt- we have Carlos Reinoso alongside Cristóbal Ortega and on the bench, Álvaro Fidalgo and Eduardo Vacas. In this position, we had no doubts at all.

On the left wing, Cuauhtémoc Blanco with ‘Ruso’ Brailovsky on the bench; on the right, Antonio Carlos Santos, with Alejandro Zendejas as his substitute.

And to complete the lineup, the four best forwards; Luis Roberto Alves ‘Zague’ and Octavio Vial as starters and on the bench, Henry Martín with Enrique Borja.

It is a fact that we missed many high-quality players like Adrián Chávez, Adolfo Ríos, Salvador Cabañas, ‘Chucho’ Benítez, Cecilio de los Santos, among many others, but there is no space for everyone in a team of just 22 players.
