Gerónimo Barbadillo

Barbadillo's legacy is defined by his electrifying play and the deep affection of Tigres fans. The retirement of his number 7 is a singular honor that few footballers ever receive. His participation in the 1982 World Cup and his successful career in both Liga MX and Serie A mark him as a true globetrotter of the game. In 2025, the club's decision to pass his number to Ángel Correa, with Barbadillo's blessing, showed his continued relevance and the respect he commands.
