Falcao smiles and is once again the starter for Rayo Vallecano. He will be a first baseman in the match on date 34 against Almería. The Colombian had not started a match for the Spanish team since November 1, 2023 against Atlético Lugones for the Copa del ReyThe decision is made by coach Iñigo Pérez who decided on Tigre after not achieving good results.
Sergio Camello and Raúl de Tomás will be alternatives. Rayo Vallecano entrusts itself to Falcao for the extremely important duel with the bottom of the table. The attacker hopes to find the goal again, since December 2023 he has not scored, that time it was also for the Copa del Rey.
When was Falcao’s last time as a starter in the League?
The numbers in LaLiga this season have not been the best. In 20 games played, against Almería it will be the first time as a starter. Falcao has a goal, he scored it against Mallorca in the 2-2 draw. That duel was on September 30, 2023.
The last time the Colombian had been first baseman in the League was on November 10, 2022 in the 0-0 draw against Celta de Vigo. Falcao, with his experience, knows that he can make a difference and be important in the remainder of the season. They will be the last games at Rayo Vallecano, the most likely thing is that he will leave. His future could be in the MLS.
