The Colombian forward has stated his delight with how things shaped up for him in a memorable evening, as he enters history books of both, club and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Seldom do we get the chance of associating someone else’s name than Lionel Messi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 to goal scoring exploits.
All the headlines either portray the Portuguese breaking scoring records or the Argentine setting his own standards in the same matter.
However, a Sunday evening in Madrid saw http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon.
"I do not think about being as big as Ronaldo or Messi," he insisted. "My dream is to make and grow."
The former Porto man had a night to remember as he scored five goals within 71 minutes of the game.
Falcao surprisingly converted at a rate of 100 percent as he scored on all the shots that he took, another show to be proud off.
This is one of the few records that have managed to escape the wrath of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona’s living legend http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
Nobody had ever managed to achieve such a glorious landmark, after Los Blancos star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Morientes’ 5 goals versus Las Palmas back in February of 2002.
Falcao was really happy at equalling the record of the Madrid great, and himself became the first player ever in Atletico’s history to score five goals in a game for Los Rojiblancos.
"It was an unforgettable evening," Falcao admitted to AS. "I did not expect many goals mark but our team play must be emphasised.”

"It's nice to be the only player to ever score five goals and I'm very excited to be involved in the club’s history."
Falcao also stated that he was happy at his side’s progress and is enjoying playing with them.
"We are growing mentally and on the field the team is strong," the Colombian said. "The week was not easy, but we knew we had to do what we always do."
Atletico are currently 2nd in La Liga standings, 5 points ahead of their city rivals, Real Madrid.
