In the recent edition of the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, one of the players who stood out the most was Henry Martin. The Club America striker displayed a good level throughout the tournament and contributed to the success of the Mexican national team.

La Bomba produced 4 goals in 5 starts: scoring 2 (against Haiti and Jamaica) and providing 2 assists (facing Honduras and Costa Rica). Jaime Lozano, the team’s coach, had all his confidence on the Club America forward.

CONCACAF announced the Best XI of this Gold Cup edition and excluded Henry Martin. Despite his merits, the spot he expected to occupy was given to Ismael Diaz, forward of the Panamanian national team.

It is important to note that, although La Bomba is not featured in this team, two former Club America players were recognized for their performances during the competition. They are Guillermo Ochoa and Jorge Sanchez, who have been starters and key figures.
