Description

Luis Ángel Malagón Velázquez (born 2 March 1997) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga MX club América and the Mexico national team.

In December 2021, Malagón received his first call-up to the senior national team by Gerardo Martino, and made his debut nearly two years later under Diego Cocca on 7 June 2023, in a friendly match against Guatemala.

In the 2023 Nations League quarter-finals, Malagón played in both legs against Honduras, helping Mexico qualify for the 2024 Copa América and the Nations League finals. He kept a clean sheet in the second leg and saved a penalty in the shoot-out to be victorious 4–2. In the 2024 Nations League quarter-finals, Malagón started in the second leg match against Honduras at the Estadio Nemesio Díez in Toluca. After Mexico initially fell 2–0 to Honduras in San Pedro Sula, he kept a clean sheet as Mexico won 4–0, securing a 4–2 aggregate victory and qualifying for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Nations League finals.

On 20 March 2025, in the semi-final match against Canada, Malagón recorded another clean sheet in Mexico's 2–0 win, making a crucial save against captain Alphonso Davies to qualify for the final. In the final, Malagón started as Mexico defeated Panama 2–1 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood to win the country's first-ever Nations League title. He went on to win the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper for making 4 saves and keeping a clean sheet in the final tournament.
