Carlos Gabriel González Espínola (born 4 February 1993) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga MX club Tijuana and the Paraguay national team.

Club career

Born in Villarrica, Paraguay, he started his career in Nacional Asunción youth set-up aged 16. However, in the 2013 summer González joined Chilean club Magallanes of the second-tier. At the Carabeleros he was two-times Primera B goalscorer with twelve goals (2013-14 and 2014-15).

In 2015, he joined Chilean first-tier club Santiago Wanderers to replace Roberto Gutiérrez (team’s goalscorer the last season) who left the Valparaíso-based side for powerhouse Universidad Católica. After an irregular start only playing 10 games and not scoring goals, he scored his first in a 2015 Copa Chile match against San Luis Quillota netting the game’s first goal in a 1–1 draw.

International career

On 2 March 2019, González received a call-up to the Paraguay national team from Eduardo Berizzo ahead of that month's friendlies with Peru and Mexico. He made his debut for Paraguay on 26 March 2019 in a friendly against Mexico, as a starter.
