And in a few more years, Luis Patricio could be the new Nahuel Guzmán in Tigres; Patón is 38, but it is predicted that he can still perform well for another three or four years, during which time the young feline youth squad would be getting ready to be his successor.
Gómez has been demonstrating his quality between the three sticks, to the point of being part of the Bayern World Squad 2024, the program carried out by Bayern Munich to see young prospects from all over the world.
During this Saturday, June 29, the final match of this reality show will take place, in which the players of the program will face Bayern Munich Sub 19; At the end of this edition, the Bávaro club could select some talent to be part of its club.
It would be a great achievement for Gómez to be chosen, because although his dream is to debut with Tigres, one day being part of a European team is also on his mind; For now, Luis Patricio is assured that if he returns with Tigres, he will participate in the Apertura 2024 in the Under 19 category of the Liga MX.
This is how Gómez has prepared
Since he was four years old, Luis Patricio already showed his love for football; but it was at the age of eight (in 2015) that he joined his school’s football academy, beginning his adventure as a central defender.
However, being a goalkeeper would be his destiny, since the team’s goalkeeper stopped attending the games and Luis Patricio was chosen by the coach for being the tallest player, so he participated as a goalkeeper in 7-a-side football competitions organized by the CECAFF Cumbres league in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
In these tournaments, Gómez stood out as one of the goalkeepers with the fewest goals conceded and also excelled with goals, as he surprised with his punch from midfield; He even scored goals from goal to goal.

Personalized preparation
Gomez’s dream has been a goal that he has firmly held, so he decided to take training sessions independent of schools, where they would teach him techniques to be a great goalkeeper. This would help him in November 2019, when he was invited to goalkeeping trials for Tigres’ youth teams, and he was chosen to be part of the U-13, with which he attended a tour in February 2020.
Not the whole story was rosy, because when the covid-19 pandemic broke out, the category was suspended, so there were only training sessions, which were sometimes from home due to restrictions; Once activities were restored, in Apertura 2021 he was part of the Felines’ Sub 14, earning ownership.
In November 2021 he was called up to the tour of Spain with the Mexican Under 16 National Team, in which he continued to be called to the concentrations in 2022. At the same time, he remained the starting goalkeeper of the Tigres Under 14 team; He even played in the Adidas Cup tournament in Dallas, Texas that year.

His category was also present in the SuperCupNI in Ireland, a tournament in which the final was played, and Gómez stood out by saving a penalty.
While in the Clausura 2024 in the Under 16, Luis Patricio participated as a starting goalkeeper playing 11 games with a total of 990 minutes; In addition, in March he was part of the team that played the Dallas Cup Category U17, becoming champion.
Roce international
When the 2024 Under-16 Clausura ended, Gómez was called up by the national team for the 2024 Canteras de América Tournament in the city of Rosario, Argentina, where he participated in three matches.
Then came his call to the Bayern World Squad, on May 27, being the youngest of three goalkeepers selected. In this reality show, Gómez along with another feline, Luis Ibarra, as well as Nicholas Ontiveros, are the only Mexicans in this talent show.
