Radamel Falcao García exploded at a press conference after the elimination of millionaires in the semifinal home runs of the Betplay 2025-I League and left very strong statements.
The striker was not saved and lashed out with forcefulness against arbitration and the VAR, holding them responsible for the elimination of the equipment in the home runs.
What said Falcao after the defeat of Millionaires against Santa Fe?
“Thus, they give me 50 thousand sanction dates, I do not play again in Colombia, and that those of Var. In Manizales they stole two very clear penalties, one to Mosquera and another to Giordana. In the entire tournament, in the face of doubt, it was against Millionaires. So I do not play again, I care about a fuck, but it was always against us.
The 'Tigre' also referred to the story that pointed it out as a supposed beneficiary of arbitral favors. “Then they say they wanted to give Radamel's tournament. It is stupid what they are saying. From the previous tournament there was a media plot that said they always favored Millionaires, but no, everything went against. To shit, a foul was committed and it was criminal against us. That is what I take. Each doubtful play they whistled us against us,” he said with contained rage.
Far from the usual tone that has characterized his career, Falcao was furious. The statement left the door open to a possible early way out of Colombian football, despite having a contract until June 2025. “It is not time to talk about the future. It is a bucket of cold water for everyone, we did not expect this, but it is football, it happens. We have to learn from the things that are wrong for the future,” he said.
However, the captain also had a time for football analysis, more leisurely and reflexive, when he referred to the process of the party: “We have suffered and was complex from the beginning for everything how it happened. They were accurate after our mistakes and, even so, we handle the ball. We will have to analyze and learn.”
For now, the future of Falcao in Colombian football was in the air, while the first star of the year will be defined by Santa Fe and Medellín.
The Colombian football final
Santa Fe and Independiente Medellín will play the final of the Betplay 2025-I League, a cross between two historic Colombian football who arrive with different styles, but with the same illusion of raising the title. The capital team, directed by Jorge Bava, will rely on the experience of figures such as Hugo Rodallega and its defensive solidity, while the DIM of Alejandro Restrepo up with a constant offensive proposal and a dynamic midfield that has been key in its campaign.
Both clubs seek to cut a long wait without titles: Santa Fe goes for the tenth star, while Medellín looks for the seventh. It will be a final with history, regional rivalry and two passionate fans, who hope to fill the Campín and Atanasio Girardot in a series that promises emotions until the end.
When is the final Santa Fe vs. Medellín?
The first leg is scheduled for Monday, June 24 at the El Campín de Bogotá stadium, but will go to Tuesday.
The date was adjusted due to the coincidence with the Rock Festival to the Park, which demands a large deployment of security in the city.
The return duel will be played on Saturday, June 28 at the Atanasio Girardot in Medellín, where the champion of the first semester will be defined.
