Surprisingly, all 38 of these goals were scored with only one touch. His 38-goal total was a league record until Cristiano Ronaldo broke it in the 2010-11 season with 40 goals. Sanchez scored 47 goals in 45 outings in European Cup tournaments. That makes him the second most successful scorer in the history of the competition behind Marco van Basten (48 goals). The Mexico international was born on January 4, 1980, in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He began his career at age seven when he joined local club Dominguez Lacustre. After five years there, he moved to Europe, joining Portuguese first division club Porto for four million pesos (about $220,000 at the time). In 2000, he returned to Mexico and signed with Club América. There he won two championships, two Mexican Cups and one Liguilla. After six seasons with América, Hugo Cueto was hired as manager and led the team to its first Liga MX title in 2001-02. The following season, 2002-03, Sanchez made his debut for Mexico against Colombia and scored a goal. He went on to play in three more matches that year without scoring another goal. In 2003-04, he started well but an injury suffered in February prevented him from continuing playing.
