Falcao Went Pro at 13, Reached The Top and Then This Happened... 

As a Colombian, the injury to Falcao before the 2014 World Cup was devastating, we truly had a world class player. I can only wish the best for him at Rayo

He´s doing great for Rayo at this moment. It´s nice to see him there scoring.

I am Colombian and Falcao made me love football, he has always been my favorite player, in fact, Lanceros, the team in which he debuted was the team from my city. I thank you for this video, it was great

I still remember that legendary perfect hat trick against Chelsea..what a finisher he was

As a Manchester United fan I can honestly Falcao was my favourite “flop” as the media would call him, never wanted a player to succeed so much and was so sad when it didn’t work for him!! Great video and thanks for the info!!

As a Porto supporter, I will never forget this legend! I really wish the injury never stopped him, as for my money he was the absolute best striker in the world around 2011-13

A great video about Falcao filled with facts.. Falcao is a word class player and highly talented. He was among the best strikers of his era and if not for injuries he'll definitely win the world best though his colourful career. One thing that made him standout is his mental toughness bcos most players wouldn't have accomplished what he did had they encounted the same setbacks as Falcao. But despite his cereer threatened injuries which are constant.Yet, he managed to be competing at the highest level and giving world best players who are injury free a run for their money. I believe his greatness lies in his mental toughness and never say die attitude. Besides, he was a delight to watch even when he's not playing well. Yet, you'll still notice that touch of brilliance and flashes of a Genius that made him One of the Best of his era. Falcao remains one of the best strikers in the history of football. To accomplish what he achieved with the amount of injuries he had made him One of the greatest footballer of all time. Bcos only few footballers would've been able to accomplish such fate given the circumstances. Falcao is highly missed bcos he was always a delight to watch.. Nice video.

I played with Falcao as a kid in Colombia and traveled with him to Argentina to play a tournament. Best memory of him is how great he was on the field he was even a better person. Never acting like a hotshot. Always quiet and smiling.

To the people who keep saying. “Oh, Falcao shouldn’t have left Atlético.” “Oh, he went out chasing money.” Falcao didn’t want to leave Atletico, he was forced to. UEFA was investigating & banning third party ownership of players and Falcao was one of the many players whose rights weren’t 100% owned by their clubs. When Atlético wanted to buy Falcao from Porto they were in financial straits, so a third party investor stepped in and agreed to finance 55% of Falcao's €40M transfer fee in exchange for 55% of his registration rights. In other words. ATLÉTICO DIDN’T OWN FALCAO. THIRD PARTY INVESTORS DID. Atlético only had to pay Porto €18M and would have had to pay this third party investor 55% of his market value to keep him. Which they couldn’t afford. That’s why when Monaco bought him, they had to pay Atleti €27M & his third party owners €33M under the table so they could reserve his complete sporting rights, since UEFA was cracking down on third party ownership of players.

Also one of my favorite players I've ever seen, for sure my favorite striker, he was complete, he could do a couple dribbles if needed, he wasn't slow, he could win balls in the air, hold the ball and pass, even with his left foot, just amazing, he scored goals in all different sides and options, just an amazing player.

amazing content as allways, idk if you will read this but personally i would love you to make a video on Ivan "Bam Bam" Zamorano not many people know what he did on the pitch and not many show him enough of respect! Cheers keep up the good work

He's a victim of circumstances; when he came to Manchester United and Chelsea he rarely played full matches playing last 10-15 minutes at most. It was clear that he didn't have the full support and confidence by each coach (especially when you consider what the condition of the clubs were at the time of his respective loans). That and how injuries came at bad times during his later career made him very inconsistent. Hell the fact that he's doing amazing with Rayo right now back in La Liga really is a statement to how his ACL never really made him lesser. Even then since that injury he's had such unique and special moments showing what he can do still if playing regularly.

Football really needed a channel like yours

Falcao and cavani are the two most underrated strickers in world football

A world class striker and an amazing person. Simple, warm, with a kind heart. He made many friends along the way. At River Plate he is a legend to this day. Great player.

El Tigre was, is and will always be a CLASS ACT........at some moment in time, was clearly one of the best players in the world but life is not fair sometimes and tragedy hit......you are missed my friend.

I started really watching football in 2013. Falcao I believe was injured around that time. I’d see him in the short Ligue 1 highlight promo. He looked so cool, literally like a hawk. Could only imagine what him and James would’ve done at the world cup. Then he had those poor seasons at united and Chelsea so I didn’t see Falcao in good form till the 16/17 season with Monaco but man was it worth it. That chip vs Man City will never be forgotten. Legend.

Anyone knows from FM11 to FM17 he was a BEAST of a Player. In FM14,He could win you Ligue 1 at Monaco.

I still wonder what that Porto team would have achieved if that overrated loud mouth Villas Boas hadn't left for Chelsea and thus making Falcao leave the club as the Champions League project for that season got a severe blow. That team was so good and has such insane chemistry that it felt anything was possible. The trio of Hulk-Falcao-James in their primes was a stellar world class offensive threat. Clearly, they were too good for the Portuguese league.

Excellent and enthralling video! Great work and thanks again for the great content.

The botafogo match comeback was something else. River getting that victory playing with 9 men for most of the second half and Falcao just being himself. Radamel must be the only player from that final season in River who is remembered kindly by the fans

I still remember his time in Atletico, he was absolutely a tiger

El Tigre scored some of the most sublime goals I have seen in the world when he played for Athletico in La Liga. His first touch was one of the best I have seen in football. The best Colombian striker since Faustino Asprilla.

I love central forward play and this guy was a classic number 9. It’s sad how injuries can limit a number 9’s abilities and potentials. Just like Fernando Torres’ injuries did him, Falcao’s injuries stop him from being in the conversation of all time greatest finishers

I love how you pronunce Socrates ! It's so cool ! Love your Portuguese accent. I think you are Portuguese, different accent from the Brazilian, smoother. At least that's how things sound to my Italian ears.

Amazing video, i saw a lot of Falcao in his prime and i can't think of many better strikers in recent times, maybe only R9. He was at least as good as Aguero or Lewandowski

A video on Matt Le Tessier would be great as well

A vid on Poland’s accomplishments in the 1974 World Cup would be very interesting. It still amazes me how they managed to get so far in that competition, especially the fact how they were still developing as a country after ww2

I hope could get a great come back as a coach in the future.

Huge fan of your content my friend, well researched and presented... And always informative 👌

ole gunner solskjaer as a player, would be interesting.

Since you're from Portugal, can you make a video on how Portugal managed to have such a great generation despite having only ~10 million citizens (it used to be even lower and Portugal still mananged to produce talent)? It's probably not easy to answer this properly, but I think a video on Portugal's talents would be nice to enjoy. Portugal used to struggle to even qualify for the WC, but they became a force in the 21st century.

He has been the best Colombian soccer player so far

What a beautiful man

1:14 he did the Siuuuuuuuuuuu before the Siuuuuuuuuuuu became siuuuuuuuuuuu

Beautiful video.. I really miss him a lot... I was so excited for him to join Real Madrid... It never happened :(

Great video, el tigre Falcao =)

He’s one of my favourite players ever only behind Neymar As a kid it was him who was the best striker in the world I never wanted him to go Monaco as I thought it was a massive step down for his ability. After his injury I was devastated I actually cried when I found out he wouldn’t make the World Cup. Im glad he managed to gain some old form back but he was never the same after it😔

I love ur videos man keep it up

I remember reading that Falcao made his debut in football in 1999 a couple of years back when he was in his early thirties and was trying to wrap my head around it.

One of the most underrated to play the game but still one of the deadliest

One of my best video u have made I love falcao what a striker

One of the most underrated player of all time and my second favorite player ❤

I first heard of falcao in 2011 when AVB came to Chelsea. In 2012, I watched him destroyed chelsea in the uefa super cup. Torres the 50£ million striker was what chelsea wanted in falcao. Definitely one of the best strikers in the world at one point and was up there with Ronaldo and Messi!

7:40 class act 👏

Falcao and Fernando Torres 🤝Knee injuries

what a striker he was.

Nice videos brother. Been binging on all ur videos they’re too good

Imagine if falcao never got injured and played in the 2014 wc, I think Colombia could have won.

As an Atleti fan it's sad I wish would've stayed with us ❤️

I am happy for him that he still found success after this injury. He was doing wonders with Mbappe back in the day

Man I remember him getting injured. Todo Colombia lloro when that happened, specially here in Medellin.

@Dailydoseoffootball you need to keep your energy going because you are going to have a channel on your own as big as Skysports and this professional footballers you do this documentaries/movies for need to pay you homage one day for this efficiency you show.

É assim mesmo mano , algum tuga a fazer conteudo de jeito , grande abraço continua.

Ahhhh, Falcão. A nightmare for every Benfica and Sporting fan, the sheer name brings a chill down my spine. What a fucking player. I remember back when he was in River, I was a 13y playing FIFA in career mode and I found him. And the next year, he signs for Porto, basically making defenders his bitches. Hulk, James and Falcão were quite possibly the best trio i saw playing in Portugal. He was so good I was relieved when he signed for Atlético, and was sure he would end up being a Balon D'Or winner. Unfortunately... Injuries happened

Very similar to Fernando torres, brazilian ronaldo, and Michael owen. Excellent teenage years and early twenties, but after 28 or 29 it's like they hit a wall or something. Very unfortunate to say the least.

Im a united fan I know he was injured when he was at united still man utd loves him.

Yes he is one of the ones!!! Great Video!!! Congrats!!! He is a champ!!!

Legend. Loved him in Monaco

The King of Europa Cup !!!!

more europa leagues tittles than messi and ronaldo combined, GOAT

The King of EUROPA. Man was a complete beast in European competitions.

I remember his gold card was 90 rated back in the day in fifa...

I remember that long injury he sustained. Top world class player.

8:11 he made that kids day man 👏

As a United fan I feel sad to see him false at United. But Falcao is a goal machine one of my favorite Striker in football history

Why not a video on Paulo Roberto Falcao? I idolized him as a kid, he was the most modern midfielder at the time. He won Roma, along with the mithycal "Marazico" (Bruno Conti), one of the 3 scudetto of its history.

Big fan of him ..lots of love💖💖💖and happy to see in la liga again..keep scoring

Best football channel

He was so good, and then wasn't the same

Lovely video, I hope videos like these also help the footballer to show that he's appreciated by those who enjoy football, that they'll be remembered. Like many footballers, their struggles & how they got through them needs to remembered. To remember what he did, what could have been but still stuck through even with many things blocking his way. Footballers need some love, cause we can see that a lot of times they didn't get the support needed.

Fantastic video bro love from the UK

Love the content, but it would've helped a little with some music alongside the narration

7:47 wow, a legend.

Bro your videos are so good keep it up👌🏾🔥

Excellent video, thanks.

Falcao the best and the most beautiful human beings ❤️

the R in Radamel is a strong rolled R, as in spanish unlike portuguese. great vid

Tragic about man utd - what a loss *cough* memphis *cough* Di Maria

I feel the very bad pain, wish him the best at Vallecano

The video is 18 min long. I am glad I watch it to the end. Otherwise, I wouldn't know it is actually possible to juggle a water-bottle.

One of my favourites.

your videos should have more footage of the games where is scored the important goals

Never forget his Europa league record wich is very impressive

Please do a video on Hristo Stoichkov I've been commenting non stop on this man so please do it for me bruv

13:38 you violated the defender 😭

He career aint over homie

Fuuckk.. congrats such a nice video ...Falcao deserves seriously the song Eye of the Tiger what a will power

i didnt know falcao plays for atletico ...was after or before forlan?

He's top class and great attitude unlike a certain colombian.. cough.. cough ... james.

Wow, so incredible, also he didn't join a top team, how knows how he would be if his time at porto or atletico was at a top team, from this video only i'm rating with the top of the top strikers

It's not Hadamel it's Radamel also its not Hodriguez its Rodriguez since they aren't Brazilian or Portuguese

Next player Morientes ? because 12:10 another deadly striker

He should have challenged Messi-Ronaldo dominance in the BallonDor

Forca Porto!!!!

He was just playing fifa my player , but in real life

Crack 🌠🙏🏽⚽

Teachers shouldn't try and discourage or hinder a child's progression!

Need a story on Deco

Can we get a video on Ibrahim Sangare?
