Falcao becomes Colombia's all-time top goalscorer
Radamel Falcao is now the most prolific goalscorer in the history of the Colombia national team.
The Monaco striker found the back of the net against Spain, allowing him to move into sole position atop his country’s goalscoring charts.
The 31-year-old striker scored in the 55th minute in an international friendly against Spain to give his side a 2-1 advantage.
He passed Arnoldo Iguaran, who scored 25 goals playing in 68 matches for Colombia from 1973-1993 (a 24 years record).
It had been a long time coming for Falcao. His last goal for his country came on 6 June 2015, meaning he broke his international drought almost exactly two years to the day.
The striker may want to continue finding the goals for Colombia, however, if he wants to maintain the record for as long as Iguaran held it. But, don't forget the Real Madrid attacker, James Rodriguez has 19 goals in his Colombia career and is just 25-years-old, leaving him lots of time to catch up to Falcao if he (Falcao) experiences another goalscoring drought.
Do you think James Rodriguez can break this record that has just been set?
