Guillermo Ochoa is facing a new experience in Europe. "Memo" is the starting goalkeeper for AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division. In their last match, the Mexican's team lost 1-0 against Pafos FC, a club that plays in the Champions League. Ochoa highlighted the level of the tournament. AEL Limassol lost by a single goal against the second-place team in the tournament. Guillermo Ochoa's team was able to put up a fight against one of the biggest clubs in the competition. But Vlad Dragomir's goal gave the home side the three points. "We know that playing here isn't easy. The team is in great form and has a deeper squad than ours. But I think we made a mistake in the first few minutes. After that, we took control of the game, and it's a shame about the second half because the team played very well, and I think we deserved more," Ochoa told Cablenet Sports. In this regard, the former Club America goalkeeper highlighted the level of Cypriot football. Guillermo Ochoa considers playing in the Cypriot first division a great surprise, given the quality of players at each club. "It's not an easy league, it's very difficult, with many highly skilled individual players and a lot of intensity in the matches. So it's a big surprise," he explained. AEL Limassol is currently in the middle of the table. Guillermo Ochoa's team is in eighth place in the standings with three wins, one draw, and five losses. “Memo” has granted thirteen goals and kept one clean sheet. Reunion with David Luiz In the last match against Pafos FC, Guillermo Ochoa faced David Luiz. The 38-year-old Brazilian defender is one of the leaders of his club's defense. Despite his age, the Cypriot club gave the Brazilian the opportunity to play in the Champions League. “Memo” used him as an example to demonstrate that age is not a limiting factor for playing at a high level. A story that can be contrasted with Ochoa's goal of playing in the 2026 World Cup. "It's incredible to find an old friend here after so many years. The last time we played was in 2014, at the World Cup, So life sometimes gives you the opportunity to face great players, and he's doing very well in Cyprus with Pafos.I think that shows that age is just a number,” I concluded.
