The Colombian striker is having a phenomenal goal-scoring season with Atletico Madrid, and wants to score against his side’s city-rivals, Real Madrid, to dent their title hopes.
Real Madrid had a significant 10-point lead over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 during the start of March. However, in their last 5 matches, Madrid have dropped 6 points and now they lead Barcelona only by a single point, with a game in hand.
The Catalan giants are currently on a winning streak, showing the best of their forms; while, Real Madrid are now on the verge of choking towards the final stretch of the Spanish La Liga.
It all started when Madrid first drew against Malaga. Later, the league leaders drew against the relegation-threatened Villarreal and recently they drew another fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863, to allow Barcelona to come within touching distance in the league.
With Real Madrid commanding a 1-point lead over Barcelona, they are to face their cross-town rivals, Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
Atletico’s star striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, is looking forward to meeting up with Real Madrid and he seems desperate to dent Los Blancos’ title hopes by scoring against them.
The Colombian striker has already scored 20 goals in La Liga this season and he is ready to add to his tally as both the Madrid sides lock horns with each other at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon.
While speaking to the press, Falcao said:
“It would be very special if I score in the derby. Goals in derbies are always special, and those who score will make history. I hope that we win, and it will be even better if I score.”
“We are only thinking about winning the match, not about what a loss would mean for Real. We are focused on ourselves and at the opportunity to beat them in our own stadium. We have to remain calm.”
“Real Madrid have some great individuals who can decide the game, but they’ve been very strong as a team as well. Above all, it’s their individual quality that stands out though.”
Atletico Madrid are currently seventh in La Liga and have not won a single game against Real Madrid in the last 13 years.
