The 2015-16 European league season will be remembered for a number of reasons: Leicester City’s improbable Premier League title, Real Madrid’s dramatic Champions League triumph and the brilliant return to form of Mexico’s Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez.
The 28-year-old striker enjoyed his finest season since erupting onto the world’s radar with Manchester United in 2010-11. Following four frustrating seasons of being used sparingly as a substitute for both United and Real Madrid, Chicharito seized his opportunity as a regular starter with Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga.
His 17 Bundesliga goals trailed only Robert Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thomas Muller in the final standings. Now, following high demand, the official Bundesliga YouTube channel has released a compilation of every Chicharito strike this season.

He was named the Bundesliga Player of the Month for November, December and January, scoring some stunning goals that proved his worth beyond the cliche of being a simple poacher.
Now, Chicharito is looking to replicate his club form for Mexico at the Copa America Centenario. Mexico were brilliant in their 3-1 opening victory over Uruguay, and they’ll now face Jamaica on June 9th at the Rose Bowl.
