Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa reminded football enthusiasts of his 2014 heroics against Brazil after saving Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski's kick from the penalty spot during Tuesday's Qatar World Cup 2022 clash.
In the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Ochoa made six saves in the scoreless draw with Brazil and denied Neymar a header, which he called the "game of a lifetime."
Ochoa recalled the match ahead of Mexico's clash against Poland as he prepared to play in his fifth World Cup. "I feel really grateful to be recognized globally, that means you have done good work," he said.
A towering fixture on Mexico's roster since 2005, the 6-foot goalkeeper is among four players who joined an exclusive group with 5 World Cup appearances, including Portugal icon Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentinian legend Lionel Messi.
Mexico has appeared in the last eight World Cups and has advanced to the knockout round in the previous seven. And Ochoa's heroics in denying Lewandowski a goal in their Group C clash at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar has sparked massive excitement among football enthusiasts.
A massive meme fest, which was ongoing from the start of the Mexico vs Poland clash celebrating Ochoa's return, exploded after the goalkeeper's sensational save.
