At club level he won one Liga MX, one CONCACAF Champions League, one Campeón de Campeones and one Belgian Cup.

With the Mexico national team he was their best player at the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups, producing standout displays against Brazil, Germany and Poland. He is also the record Gold Cup winner with six and lifted a CONCACAF Nations League title.
