The Qatar World Cup 2022 is getting closer to starting, something exciting to all football lovers, but also to the players, because for some of them it will be the first major World Cup event, while for others it will be another World Cup.

This would be the case of Andrés Guardado and Guillermo ‘Memo’ Ochoa, players who will surely be included in the Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino squad with the Mexican National Team, since if they are called up for El Tri, will be playing their fifth World Cup date.

Both Aztec elements were considered in a World Cup team after making their appearance on the Germany roster 2006, where the midfielder Guardado only saw minutes with the national shirt in the last game against Argentina, while the goalkeeper had to wait two editions to see action until Brazil 2014, but if he was on the list of substitute goalkeepers.

As a result, if they are called to the Selection from Mexico, will match in their fifth World Cup of their careers great football figures, being the legendary Antonio Carbajal, Rafael Márquez, Lotthar Matthaeus and Gianliugi Buffon the only ones capable of doing such a feat.

Guardado and Ochoa are not the only ones who will be on the big list

In addition to the Real Betis player from Spain and the Club América goalkeeper, two football legends will add their fifth appearance in the World Cup, thus being Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi the players who also have the chance to play in their fifth World Cup.

Both Manchester United and PSG players have played 17 Y 19 matches respectively and will seek to go as far as possible in the Qatar World Cup 2022.
