Club career

In 2011, Macías joined C.D. Guadalajara's youth academy. Six years later, now aged 17, coach Matías Almeyda called up Macías to form part of the first team.[2] On 16 July, Macías made his official debut in the 2017 Campeón de Campeones match against Tigres UANL.[3] Six days later, he made his league debut against Deportivo Toluca F.C. in a scoreless draw.[4] On 8 August, Macías scored his first professional goal for Guadalajara in a Copa MX match against FC Juárez.[5] On 28 October, he scored his first brace against Club Tijuana in a 3–1 home win.[6]

In December 2018, Macías joined Club León on a year-long loan deal with an option to buy.[7] He scored his first brace against Querétaro F.C. in a 4–0 away victory.[8] He scored eight goals during the regular phase of the 2019 Clausura, making him the top-scoring Mexican player in the tournament at only 19 years old.[9] Macías scored another two goals in the championship stage to take his total goal tally to ten as León progressed to the finals. He missed the finals against Tigres UANL due to receiving a call-up to play with the Mexico under-20 team at the World Cup in Poland.[10] He was listed on the Best XI of the 2019 Clausura.[11]

He finished the 2019 Apertura with eight goals under his name.

In December, it was confirmed that Macías would return to Guadalajara, with León stating that it was the player's decision.[12] On 11 January 2020, he played his first match with Guadalajara since his loan stint against Juárez, and scored in the team's 2–0 win.[13]

Prior to the start of the 2020–21 season, Guadalajara participated in the 2020 Copa por México. In the semi-final match against rivals Club América, Macías scored within 19 seconds of the start, marking it as the fastest goal in a Súper Clásico as Guadalajara won 4–3.[14] Macías finished as the top scorer of the tournament with four goals but did not participate in the final against Cruz Azul due to injury,[15] where the Guadalajara finished as runner-ups.

International career

Mexico U-20

On 25 October 2018, Macías was called up by Diego Ramírez to participate in the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[16] He scored 10 goals in the tournament, including 4 against Aruba,[17] winning him the Golden Boot of the tournament.[18] As Mexico would finish runner-up in the tournament, he was listed in the Best XI of the tournament.[19]

In April 2019, Macías was included in the 21-player squad to represent Mexico at the U-20 World Cup in Poland.[20]

Macías was included in the final roster that participated at the 2018 Toulon Tournament.[21] He would go on to appear in three matches as Mexico finished runners-up.[22]

Macías was included in the final roster that participated in the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games.[23] He appeared in two group stage matches as Mexico finished last in their group with one point.

Mexico national team

The first against Bermuda, scoring his first brace with the national team winning 5–1,[25] and the second against Panama, coming on as a substitute to help break a 1–1 deadlock, scoring Mexico's second goal in an eventual 3–1 victory.[26]
