Mexican soccer is saddened by the death of former goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal Rodríguez, better known as La Tota or the five cups. He was a great player who was with the Mexican National Team in five World Cups and is a history of El Tri.

 

Antonio Carbajal died at the age of 93, in the city of León, Guanajuato, this because he had problems with high blood pressure and health complications. This former player played for the Real España and León clubs in Mexican soccer and was one of the best players in the National Team.

The Tota Carbajal was born on June 7, 1929 in Mexico City. The great goalkeeper began his career in Mexican soccer at Club Oviedo in 1942. However, his move to the elite came when he was sold to Real Club España.

He played with León for several years until 1966. In this club he won two championships in the 1951-1952 and 1955-1956 seasons. Many experts consider that this goalkeeper has been the best in the history of the Mexican National Team, with a talent that surpassed Guillermo Ochoa and Jorge Campos.
