Short history in Europe

Idol in Monterrey


After coming and going in world soccer, Rogelio Funes Mori seems to have found his place in the world. The Argentinian arrived at Monterrey as a reinforcement for the 2015 Apertura. In matchday 3 against Atlas, he would score his first goal and his first brace with the 'Rayados' in Liga MX.

Funes Mori would score the first official goal by a Monterrey player in the new BBVA Bancomer stadium. And, in his first season, Rogelio would be tied with André-Pierre Gignac in third place in the Apertura's individual scoring chart with 11 goals.

The following tournament, he played an important role in Monterrey's runner-up finish in the 2016 Clausura, scoring two goals in the play-off for the title, one of them against Tigres, in a new edition of the “Clásico Regio”, which his team would win this time by a score of 3-1. In the 2017 Apertura he scored 12 goals, 6 of them in the group stage where he obtained the runner-up position with Monterrey, after losing in the final against the ‘Felinos'.

In addition, he won the Copa MX in the 2017 Apertura edition after defeating Pachuca 1-0 at the BBVA Bancomer Stadium. From then until today, Rogelio Funes Mori has been winning the hearts and respect of all the fans of 'Rayados', to the point that at the beginning of 2019, he acknowledged his interest in being part of the Mexico national team currently led by the also Argentine Gerardo Martino.
