🚨🇲🇽 Raúl Jiménez and an inspiring story…

Years ago, he almost lost his life after a serious skull injury.

Months ago, he lost his father after a battle with cancer.

So much pain, so many difficult moments, but today he lives a beautiful one by scoring at the World Cup. 🌍🥹❤️

🇲🇽 In November 2020, Raúl Jiménez suffered a life-threatening head injury after a collision with David Luiz during Wolves vs Arsenal.

A fractured skull. Internal bleeding. His career was at serious risk.

What a story. What a comeback. ❤️
