Radamel Falcao García will meet again this Sunday with Atlético de Madrid, the club that launched him to world fame a decade ago. The Colombian was finally able to be in this special duel.
In the preview of the meeting, there was a lot of talk about the possible absence of the ‘Tiger’ due to covid-19. Several players in the squad, including him, were affected and his own coach, Andoni Iraola, confirmed it at a press conference.
Of course, a cloak of doubt was sown because the club reported at a press conference that the list of summoned would be released hours before the match at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Thus, the hours passed and nothing was officially known. Of course, there are already several clues to the possible reappearance of Falcao.
The official LaLiga Twitter account published a message about Samarium’s reunion with his former team early on Sunday, something strange considering that it is in doubt. “‘El Tigre’ @FALCAO is reunited with his past in ???????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????!”, Says the message next to a montage in his time as mattress maker and now as Rayo’s insignia.
Later, the Spanish journalist Carlos Ganga, who follows the news of the Vallecas team, reported that indeed the ex-Galatasaray will be available and will even start the game on the substitute bench.
Finally, within minutes of the initial whistle, Rayo announced his starting payroll and Falcao is indeed available. That will await its moment as a shock. I will surely enter the second half with a standing ovation from Wanda.
