Radamel Falcao was at Atletico Madrid for only two seasons but the impact he made in those two seasons is the reason why he ranks so high up the list.

The Colombian international joined Atletico Madrid in 2011 as a replacement for Sergio Aguero. When he joined Atletico, he came on the back of scoring 72 goals in 87 games for Porto.

At Atletico, Falcao scored a mouthwatering 70 goals in 91 games of which 52 were in 68 games in the league. His goals helped them win the Europa League, Copa del Rey and UEFA Super Cup.

Falcao left Atletico in 2013 to join Monaco but his career hasn’t panned out the way he would have hoped to because of a serious injury. He has slowly found his feet in recent seasons and helped Monaco win the league title in 2017.
