The Rayo Vallecano statistic that indicates Falcao's decline
Concerns arise within the club regarding the current state of the Colombian striker
The Rayo Vallecano continues to demonstrate a rather inconsistent present, where their attack leaves much to be desired, and several players are being singled out, including Radamel Falcao. The Colombian forward is not going through his best moment, as he used to be decisive and now struggles to reach the goal.
Let's remember that the 'Tigre' renewed his contract with the Vallecas club for another year. In the short time he played last season, he scored 6 goals, which was quite impressive considering his commitment. Currently, he has scored two goals in 10 matches, leaving some doubts.

Falcao's current situation at Rayo Vallecano is not ideal
Thus, a damning statistic regarding Rayo Vallecano has emerged, highlighting Falcao's low level. It also indicates that the great scorer from Atlético is in the twilight of his career. This statistic relates to the current top scorer of the Rayo Vallecano team in the ongoing campaign.
The best offensive player for the Vallecas team is none other than a defender. We are talking about Florian Lejeune, a 31-year-old French center-back who joined the Madrid-based club this season and has impressed with his versatility.
The Colombian forward's performance is declining
He has scored 3 goals in just 9 matches, showcasing his excellent shooting ability and heading skills. This clearly indicates that the forwards of Rayo Vallecano, especially Radamel Falcao, are currently performing at a rather low level, considering that a defender is the top scorer.
Undoubtedly, a surprising situation has unfolded at the beginning of this season regarding the attacking front of the franjirrojos. The team led by Andoni Iraola will have to look for an offensive element in January who can change their current situation, which has proven to be challenging in the early matches.
