Atletico Madrid head coach Gregorio Manzano is delighted with the impact made by summer signing Falcao since his arrival from FC Porto.
I'm sure that he's going to be rubbing shoulders with the great goalscorers of our league like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 25-year-old Colombia international has already netted six times in La Liga, including a hat-trick against Racing Santander and two in the midweek win over Sporting Gijon.
That has prompted Manzano to liken his man to the biggest stars in La Liga.
He said: "He's a great goalscorer for our fans to enjoy and for Spanish football.
"We're not surprised that he's scored so many goals, because he's done that throughout his professional career, but we are surprised that he's adapted so quickly.
"Also, more than his work, you need to emphasise his humility, he's a great team-mate and the dressing room likes and respects him.
"I'm sure that he's going to be rubbing shoulders with the great goalscorers of our league like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo."
Atletico are 1213.00 to win La Liga this season, with Falcao 1213.00 to be the league's leading goalscorer, while the Madrid outfit are 1.72 to be successful in the Europa League.
