Raul Jimenez: I want to keep scoring against Pickford

Mexico striker Raul Jimenez is hoping to continue his impressive run against England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. The Mexican forward has faced the English keeper multiple times during his Premier League career, scoring six goals against him—more than against any other goalkeeper since arriving in English football.

Now, Jimenez is hoping to translate that record to the biggest stage: the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. «I've managed to score against him in the Premier League. I want to continue increasing that tally, and hopefully, it happens in this match,» the forward remarked.

Jimenez acknowledged that this Sunday's encounter could represent the most important challenge of his career with the Mexican national team, given the significance of reaching the World Cup quarterfinals. «It could be that this is the most important match, because of how well we are playing,» he stated, emphasizing that the winner will be determined solely by their performance on the pitch during the 90 minutes.

When asked about the possibility of swapping jerseys with Harry Kane after the final whistle, the striker replied with humor: «Let's see if he wants to».
