Radamel Falcao García is a true icon of Colombian football in the world. The Santa Marta attacker has left his mark in his time in Europe, rubbing shoulders with the best footballers in the world at the best moment of his career.

Recently, the one who showed him respect and admiration was Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid’s flagship defender in the years he was there, who now defends the colors of Sevilla in the Spanish League, a club in which he emerged around 2002.

The centre-back’s display of collegiality occurred within the framework of the game that Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano played last weekend, for matchday 9 of the championship, which ended tied 2-2, with no action for either of the two mentioned.

There, when Ramos noticed the Colombian, he did not hesitate for a single moment to shout “Radamel” at him, so that he would turn to look and they could greet each other. Falcao listened, turned his body around and, with a gesture, responded to his colleague’s greeting.

Finally, the Spanish National Team defender commented with his teammates on the bench about what Falcao was like in his best moment, remembering the large amount of money that the coffee grower moved around at that time, about “10-12 million euros a year.” ”.

Seville vs. Lightning, in tables

A header from Youssef En-Nesyri, five seconds from the final whistle, saved José Luis Mendilibar’s team from a break for teams with very bad feelings. Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán once again pushed his team, but Rayo was better in the first half and achieved a 0-2 lead through Óscar Valentín and Álvaro García.

Sevilla reacted after the restart and a great goal from outside the area by Sow ended up sounding like a riot in the Pizjuán. ‘Mendi’ burned ships and, at the horn, after the chances of Lukebakio and Rafa Mir, the gliding flight of En-Nesyri appeared, in a corner kick that Rakitic placed. A high that only postpones the urgency of improving for the Andalusians, while preventing Rayo from approaching the European positions in the table.

One by one, it is enough for Valencia to stay away from problems, with a squad without signings that lives off the quarry exploited by Rubén Baraja. The ‘che’ team had to suffer in Son Moix, but a great goal from Diego López before the break equaled Dani Rodríguez’s early goal. Mallorca pushed with the opening whistle and did so even more in the second half.

Javier Aguirre’s men ran into Mamardashvili and the post, missing a good opportunity to achieve the second victory of the season. Mallorca works, as expected in the continuity of last year and the reinforcements of this one, but they lack a goal, seeing that the relegation zone has them within reach.

For Sevilla, although the point achieved was agonizing, it was not enough to save the job of its coach, José Luis Mendilibar, last season’s Europa League champion, who, after a bad start in the league, was not kept in office.
