Gallardo began his career at 15 years old with Once Hermanos from 2009,[4] until making the switch to Jaguares de la 48 in 2011,[5] and ultimately getting the attention of first division team Club Universidad Nacional.
[12] On 23 October he scored the decisive penalty in the shootout of the Apertura 2018 Copa MX semi-finals against Pachuca, sending his team to the final.
[14] As Monterrey won the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League Finals against crosstown rivals Tigres UANL,[15] he was included in the Team of the Tournament.
[20] On 28 June 2017, Gallardo was called up to participate in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup,[21] managing to appear in all games until their 1–0 semi-final loss against Jamaica.
A regular source of assists and the archetypal team player, he is adept at pressing high up the pitch and catching opponents out of position.
"[25] Starting off as a left-winger on the club level, former Mexico national team coach Juan Carlos Osorio used him on a more defensive position as left-back.
