Atletico Madrid

ON THIS DAY: Radamel Falcao was unplayable during his time in Spain with Atletico Madrid, helping the team to Europa League glory to cap an eye-catching ...

Those two goals in the final took Falcao's Europa League tally for the season up to 12. Things went from bad to worse for Amorebieta later in the first half. Fernando Amorebieta was the unfortunate soul tasked with keeping the striker at bay - and he never stood a chance. It didn't even take Falcao 10 minutes to open the scoring, and his first goal that evening showed that no defensive preparation was enough to cope with him. The Colombian already had 23 league goals and 10 in Europe before the final. To describe Falcao as unplayable during his time in the Spanish capital might actually be an understatement.
