#2 Radamel Falcao
Position: Striker
The 32-year-old striker, Radamel Falcao, will be raring to shine at the World Cup 2018 after reigniting his career with fantastic performances in the past 2 seasons with AS Monaco. Having missed out on the 2014 edition with an unfortunate knee injury, the veteran is now closer than ever to realizing his dream of scoring at the World Cup.
Radamel Falcao was among the best forwards in the world as he helped Colombia to World Cup qualification with 9 goals. A catastrophic injury before World Cup 2014 meant the striker, in the best form of his life, had to miss out on the world's biggest tournament. After disappointing moves to Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United, the number 9 was a forgotten figure among elite footballers. But now, the veteran seems to have rediscovered his form and is back among the top forwards to watch out for at the World Cup.
With 39 goals and 10 assists in the last 2 seasons for AS Monaco, Falcao's experience and attacking talent will be vital for the Colombians if they are to reach the final rounds of the tournament. The captain, nicknamed "El Tigre" will look to lead his team all guns blazing and prove to his critics that he is still among the best footballers in the world.
