In a league used to some major flops, Andre-Pierre Gignac broke the mold and is in the conversation as the best player in the history of Liga MX.

Liga MX has never been a pushover league; great players have made big names for themselves like José Saturnino Cardozo or Álex Aguinaga. While not on top of the Liga MX all-time goal scorers, Gignac is now the 5th all-time leading scorer who is not Mexican in Liga MX history.


Gignac is behind Evanivaldo Castro, José Cardozo, Osvaldo Castro, and Carlos Eloir Perucci at 175 league goals but he has 200 goals across all competitions.
