It seemed that the end of the era of the great canon was approaching. But in the summer, the Colombian striker made his way to Spain, where he is shining again.

A few years ago, Falcao was one of the best and most feared goalscorers in the football world. But then his star began to decline due to numerous injuries. It seemed that the end of the era of the great canon was approaching. But in the summer, the Colombian striker made his way to Spain, where he is shining again. On Wednesday, he even scored against Barcelona.

Rayo Vallecano are definitely not one of Spain’s big clubs. On the contrary. You won’t find a major star there. Except for one name. In the summer, the star striker Falcao headed to the suburbs of Madrid.

The Falcao who shone in Porto, Atlético Madrid and Monaco. In recent seasons, however, he defended the colours of Galatasaray Istanbul, where he spent a lot of time on the sidelines, even though his numbers were not bad at all.

Many might have written off the 35-year-old Colombian striker, but he is proving that he still has the quality to play in Europe’s top competitions. After all, his numbers speak for him.

He has started six games for Rayo Vallecano, playing only 249 minutes. Yet he has already scored four goals. He doesn’t even need 63 minutes to score a goal. In short, an excellent record.

Last time he confirmed that he has not lost his shooting instinct, on Wednesday night against Barcelona, when he showed incredible insight and great experience.

Falcao’s goal gave Vallecano a big 1-0 win. Barcelona continue to be mired in crisis. In the Spanish league, it is only 9th, while Rayo has jumped to an excellent 5th position.
