It’s been 14 years since the tragic morning of January 25, 2010, when Salvador Cabañas, one of Mexican football’s most talented and feared forwards, had his promising career abruptly ended by a gunshot to the head.

Now, at 44 years old, the former Paraguayan footballer has finally broken his silence, revealing new and unprecedented details about the attack that shocked the sports world.

Cabañas, who was playing for Club América and was a key player for Paraguay’s national team, vividly recalls that fateful night at the “Bar Bar” nightclub in Mexico City. “It all started with a seemingly insignificant argument that quickly escalated,” Salvador explained in a recent interview.

José Jorge Balderas Garza, known as “El JJ,” was identified as the shooter and later linked to the Beltrán Leyva cartel. According to Cabañas, Balderas directly threatened him by saying, “I am the one who will bring you down.”

Miraculously, the bullet lodged in his forehead did not take his life but shattered his immediate dreams. “I had signed a pre-contract with Manchester United; everything was ready after the 2010 World Cup. However, that bullet changed everything,” he confessed sadly. The transfer was valued at approximately 10 million British pounds—a historic move that never materialized.

Cabañas’ physical recovery was described as miraculous by doctors, yet cognitive and physical consequences were inevitable. “The bullet is still there; they couldn’t remove it. It’s a daily reminder of that night,” he explained. Although he attempted to resume his career in lower leagues in Paraguay and Brazil, he officially announced his definitive retirement from professional football in 2014.

However, the details surrounding the attack remain intriguing. Cabañas suggested the incident could have been related to sports betting and possible conflicts involving organized crime, although authorities never fully confirmed these theories. Journalists like Anabel Hernández even speculated the shooting was tied to romantic disputes and deeper criminal rivalries.

The tragedy significantly impacted Salvador’s personal and family life. His ex-wife, María Lorgia, became a controversial figure after the attack. Accused of infidelity and betrayal, Cabañas watched as his fortune—estimated in millions—was depleted through legal disputes. “I lost a significant amount of money due to poor legal and personal decisions. I never imagined myself in such a situation,” he revealed.

Lorgia repeatedly denied allegations of infidelity and financial mismanagement but acknowledged the financial difficulties she experienced after their separation. Controversy intensified when she was captured working as a currency exchanger on the streets, highlighting her dire financial situation, which was further worsened by a violent robbery at her residence.

Today, Cabañas speaks without resentment and with tranquility about his past. “I forgive the person who did this to me. God gave me another opportunity, and I decided to use my story to inspire others,” he affirmed. Currently, he gives motivational talks, hoping to instill hope and resilience in young athletes and those facing similar adversities.

Additionally, he clarified rumors suggesting he was living in extreme poverty, working in a bakery. “I set that up to help my parents; I was never impoverished. I invested in properties and businesses, which now allow me to live comfortably.”

At 44 years old, Salvador Cabañas has confirmed the reality of events with remarkable clarity and honesty, revealing details that continue to intrigue everyone familiar with his story.

Beyond the violence, betrayals, and financial and personal losses, his testimony showcases an extraordinary capacity for recovery and forgiveness.

His life, far from professional football, continues to profoundly impact those who hear his story, proving that true greatness extends far beyond athletic success.
