RAdamel Falcao García could have a historic afternoon this Sunday. If he scores against the league leader, Once Caldas in Manizales (3 pm, with Win+ Fútbol signal), the ‘Tigre’ will become the greatest Colombian scorer of all time, an honor that he shares, since last Sunday, with Víctor Hugo Aristizábal.

However, that battle is still going on, because two other current gunners also aspire to reach that honor.
One of them will also be on the pitch at Palogrande this afternoon, Dayro Moreno, who this year became the top scorer in the local league (229 goals) and is four behind Falcao and Aristizabal. And Carlos Bacca is also close, with 336.
Junior will not be active this weekend, as their match against Deportivo Pereira, which was to be played on Friday, was postponed due to the truckers’ strike.
Falcao won his first title in Manizales
Manizales brings back fond memories for Falcao. It was in that city that he won his first title, the 2005 South American Under-20 Championship, in which Colombia was crowned champion after beating Venezuela (2-0) on the last day of the final phase.

“Stadium and city where I lived one of the most important moments of my career. Excited to return to Manizales,” Falcao said on X, in response to a photo of the celebration of that goal that journalist Juan Esteban Londoño published on that network.
Beyond Falcao’s possible record, Millonarios needs the points in Manizales to stay in the top eight, even in the reclassification. It will be a direct duel, in the table of the accumulated results of the year, against Hernán Darío Herrera’s team. They are separated by seven points.
