The former Porto striker has expressed that he enjoys being compared with two of the world’s greatest footballers at the moment.
Atletico Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 has voiced his pleasure at being rated among the best forwards in the world.
The player appeared enthused at being recognized as an instrumental player for his side.
Falcao has indeed enjoyed another memorable season as the Colombian international continues to show signs of improvement with every passing year.
Last year, the attacker was able to acquire the silverware in the UEFA Europa League with Portuguese outfit, Porto; a feat that the 26-year-old repeated in the current season’s campaign with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone’s men.
The forward was the highest goal-scorer for Porto last season and was awarded the golden boot in the Europa League as well.
Fascinatingly, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/River-Plate-c40368 man has managed to repeat all of this once again this season. Not only is Falcao the highest scorer for Atletico, he is also the highest scorer in the Europa League.
Scoring a brace in this year's final of the Europa League, Falcao has shown that he is a striker who can perform even in games which involve a lot of pressure.
As the Spanish capital-based club took up the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa’s Athletic Bilbao, Falcao was named the man of the match due to his two splendid strikes during the proceedings of the game.
The match that took place at Bucharest saw the two Spanish sides bring forth a thrilling encounter.
Even though he was believed to be playing under great pressure, the Colombian made the most of the opportunity.
Considering his exploits, the player has rightfully earned reason to be compared with Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
The forward believes that such comparisons are a source of motivation for him.
While talking to reporters, the 26-year-old was quoted as saying:
"I've received some glowing praise from a few players, which makes me happy but also puts more responsibility on me for the future. It’s only going to motivate me to get even better and go for more records."
At the moment, Falcao is constantly being linked to a move away from the Spanish capital. However, the player has downplayed all such speculation.
