Falcao could not do anything to avoid Rayo’s defeat against Madrid

Colombian striker Radamel Falcao García met Real Madrid again in a “special” match, as he acknowledged in the previous one, although he was unable to celebrate a victory with Rayo and ended up regretting a defeat (0-1) in the twenty minutes of play he was on the pitch.

Falcao started the game as a substitute and did not enter the field of play until the 73rd minute, when he replaced his teammate Sergi Guardiola.

The Colombian was at the point of attack and was the offensive reference for his team in the final minutes. Although he did not record any shots on goal, he did contribute to several dangerous plays by Rayo, associating himself with Álvaro García and the Argentine Oscar Trejo and receiving balls behind his back to temper the game.

With this match, Falcao has not scored for three and a half months. Precisely his last goal was against Real Madrid, at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, on November 6, 2011. That day, aside, he ended up injured. The Colombian striker has twelve games without scoring.

This was the sixth time that Falcao faced Real Madrid in the Spanish League. The last two games have been with Rayo but the first four were defending the Atlético de Madrid shirt, with which he scored two goals against the white team and celebrated the Copa del Rey title in the final played at the Santiago Bernabéu on May 17, 2013.
