Where is falcao coming to

Just three days later he was called on once more as a late substitute, and again did not disappoint, powering a 96th-minute header home to down Athletic Club in Bilbao, a huge result a the newly-promoted side.

The sight of him in the No. However, seeing him in the right place at the right time is instantly recognisable as the Falcao trademark - a sight which could have been lost for good throughout his recent, injury-ravaged seasons. There is certainly a sense that the forward is making up for lost time. After his spell with Galatasaray ended this summer following two campaigns of injury frustration - he missed more than half the Turkish side's matches in that period, while still managing to score at a rate of one goal every two games - El Tigre could have chosen a more forgiving alternative to the lower reaches of La Liga.

Rayo are also in far from optimal condition. Promotion did nothing to cool tensions between the club's famously left-wing fanbase and Presa, who has come under fire for his administration and ticket price increases, and who further enraged the Bukaneros by inviting right-wing VOX politician Santiago Abascal to watch a game.

Even Falcao's presentation turned into a protest against the president. Once he did manage to speak, though, he made it clear why he took on this challenge. From shirt sales to increased attendances, the Colombian is going to turn Vallecas upside down. Falcao has more than 17 million Twitter followers and 14 million more on Instagram, and Colombians residing in Spain's capital have suddenly become Rayo fans. The former Atletico Madrid striker is going to have an invaluable impact on Rayo , and what he'll bring to the club is incalculable.

It's hard to know what Falcao will deliver on the pitch, but he's guaranteed to bring excitement and get people in through the turnstiles. What is clear is that his signing presents Rayo with an incredible opportunity to grow, and they have to be prepared to take it. NFC East. NFC North. NFC South. NFC West. AL East. AL Central.
