Herrera breaks out with Atletico Madrid, Chicharito scores Sevilla goal to lead Mexicans in Europe

Were you worried, Mexico fans? Worry no longer.

Hector Herrera entered the week with a total of zero minutes for Atletico Madrid but emerged having played in two matches for Los Colchoneros, scoring his first Atleti goal in the Champions League and helping the club to a pair of draws.

"HH" entered as a substitute in a midweek match with Juventus and found the back of the net, leaping in the box to head the ball in for a stoppage-time equalizer. That performance helped earn him a start in La Liga play Saturday, with the Baja California native playing an hour of Atleti's draw with Celta de Vigo.
