Manchester City FC v AS Monaco - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg
Radamel Falcao

Once a prolific striker in Europe with Atletico Madrid and FC Porto, Falco endured a torrid spell on-loan with Manchester United and Chelsea during 14/15 and 15/16 season respectively, scoring only 5 times in 2 seasons combined.

He returned to Monaco during the summer of 2016 and led them to Ligue 1 title in 2017 and a semifinal finish in the UEFA Champions League. He has been prolific so far this season scoring 13 times in 9 league games and once in the Champions League. He scored a Ligue 1 goal every 58 minutes which is better than any striker in Europe with at least 10 goals.

Falcao is equally good with both foot, excellent in the air and has good acceleration. He is a poacher and a natural goal scorer. He has predatory instincts inside the box and can create a goal out of nothing.

With Monaco losing most of their star players last summer, Radamel Falcao needs to continue his good run to keep Monaco hopes alive in the race for Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League title.
