Almost there! Radamel Falcao close to becoming the top Colombian club goal scorer.

Radamel Falcao is one of the emblematic players of Colombia and is close to breaking a national record. On Tuesday, October 18, the 'tigre' scored a tying goal between Rayo Vallecano and Atlético de Madrid; however, it doesn't end there, as with that goal he is 7 goals away from being the top scorer in Colombian clubs.

Currently, Víctor Hugo Aristizábal leads the ranking after leaving an indelible mark on Atlético Nacional and Brazilian football with 346 goals. Following him is Radamel Falcao with 340 goals, followed by Dayro Moreno with 304, but with the possibility of increasing his numbers because he is still active.

On the other hand, the striker of Rayo must maintain his good numbers if he wants to continue at a high level and break the record. There are many who doubt his continuity due to his physical condition from the injuries he suffered throughout his stay with the Spanish club.

Falcao and more records

In addition, Falcao is also very close to being the top Colombian scorer in La Liga, as he is missing 3 goals to surpass his former national teammate, Carlos Bacca. The striker scored all 60 goals when he played for Sevilla, Villarreal, and Granada. Another Colombian goalscorer in the competition is James Rodríguez with 29 goals playing for Real Madrid.

One of the things to highlight about Radamel Falcao is that he was able to play his 100th game in Spain, gradually forging a legacy in the competition with goals, assists, and effort. For the moment, the 'tigre' must be undergoing recovery therapy because he was not in top form in the last game.

What awaits Rayo Vallecano?

The next match of Rayo Vallecano in La Liga Santander will be this Saturday, October 22 at 7:00 a.m. against Cádiz. It is expected that the Colombian forward will continue scoring goals to reduce his difference from his competitors and become the top Colombian scorer in club football.
