Throughout his career, he participated in five World Cups: Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, and Qatar 2022, solidifying himself as a key player for the team.

In his record with Mexico, Guardado has won three Gold Cups, obtained in 2011, 2015, and 2019, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Mexican football.
With his retirement from the National Team, Andrés Guardado closes a chapter full of successes, passion, and dedication, being remembered as one of Mexico's greatest icons.
