By his second season he already managed to finish as the team's top scorer. In Spain, he will always be highly remembered for the incident he experienced in a league match in Son Moix against Sevilla.
In a divided ball, the winger met Javi Navarro, one of the toughest center-backs that have passed through the league, and the Sevilla player to protect himself took out his elbow. The strong impact left Arango convulsing on the grass and there were moments of great tension. The blow left him with cuts to his mouth, a broken cheekbone and even two days in intensive care.
Fortunately he recovered and returned to the courts. He remained in the vermilion team for a total of five seasons in which he played a total of 183 games and scored 45 goals.
In the summer of 2009 he signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach and stayed there for another five seasons. In his first season he finished leading assists and became the captain of the team. However, the 11-12 season was the best in Germany, thanks to his 17 assists his team managed to finish the season in fourth position and qualify for the qualifying phase of the Champions League. In the German team he also stood out for his quality in the free kick, and in his last year he again helped to place the club in European positions before returning to Mexico.
