Jiménez is having an outstanding start to the 2024/25 Premier League season and the Mexican striker has translated his good form to the national team. And what a way to do it.
Raul Jimenez free kick goal vs. USMNT
Raúl Jiménez scored the opener during the international friendly between Mexico and the U.S. men’s national team on Tuesday, beating USMNT’s Matt Turner with an insane long-range free kick.
The Mexican — who oddly takes set pieces for neither club or country — tested his luck from over 25 yards and placed a beautifully curled shot in the top corner of Turner’s net.

A bullet strike from the Fulham No. 7.
This marks Raúl’s fifth goal of the season across all competitions, his best start to a campaign since suffering a career-threatening head injury with Wolves in 2020.
Jiménez’s marvelous form even highlighted by Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, who stated the Mexican is undoubtedly back to his best soccer after providing a magical no-look assist against City at the Etihad.
If Pep says Raúl is back, Raúl is back.
