Héctor Miguel Herrera López (Spanish pronunciation: ['ekto? e're?a]; born 19 April 1990) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish club Atlético Madrid and the Mexico national team.
Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before joining FC Porto.
He struggled for playing time in his first season at the club, before gradually cementing his place in the starting eleven.
Since the 2015–16 season, Herrera served as club captain.
In his six years with Porto, Herrera made over 240 appearances across all competitions and won a Primeira Liga title and two Supertaça cups.
A full international since 2012, Herrera won the Olympic gold medal in that year's football tournament, and was part of Mexico's winning team at the 2015 Gold Cup, as well as representing his country at the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup, the 2013 and 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the Copa América Centenario.
In 2014, he was included in The Guardian's list of The 100 best footballers in the world.
