The 30-year-old hitman endured a torrid time at Stamford Bridge and will likely be on the move again this summer, but he seemed to put all of that to one side as he relaxed on holiday.

After flopping in the Premier League and missing out on international selection for the Copa America, it's been a bad couple of months for Radamel Falcao.

The former Chelsea and Manchester United flop started for the principality side and equalised from close range after Emenike had given the Turkish outfit the lead in the third round qualifying tie.

Chants of 'Chelsea reject' were aimed at Radamel Falcao as he left the pitch at Wembley, in reference to his tough loan spell at Stamford Bridge. He replied by holding up his hands to show the score.

The Colombian striker, who also scored twice in a 3-0 win against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in midweek, again demonstrated he was back to his world-class best in Monaco's easy victory.

Falcao endured two torrid injury-blighted seasons on loan at Manchester United and then Chelsea but has struck form with five goals in his last four Monaco matches to return to the Colombia squad.

The Colombian striker has seen his recent career hampered by injury problems. Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim said Tuesday that he will make a late decision on whether to risk his star man.

Having come through Monaco's Champions League quarter-final unscathed, the Colombia forward and his wife Lorelei Taron were in attendance for the last eight of the men's singles.

The 31-year-old scored 30 goals in all competitions as Monaco ended Paris Saint-Germain's four-year dominance of French football while also reaching the last four of the Champions League.

The 32-year-old left England after spells with Manchester United and Chelsea as damaged goods. After a career resurgence, Falcao is now ready to knock England out of the World Cup.

His pedigree on the continent is undoubted and when Beckham's new team joins the MLS in 2020, Falcao could provide the forward line with some much-needed fire power.

His contract at Monaco expires next summer and, after taking on his former side in the Champions League on Wednesday, the prospect of a return to the Spanish capital has piqued his interest.

Most footballers eye a career in coaching or punditry after hanging up their boots but Radamel Falcao is planning to go against the trend by turning his hand to baseball. 

The former Manchester United striker was representing Colombia but found his side 2-1 down with minutes remaining and took exception to a spot of time-wasting by the home side.

Radamel Falcao rescued struggling Monaco with two second-half goals in a 2-2 draw at Rennes in the French league on Wednesday.

Monaco are considering a move for former Liverpool man Daniel Sturridge, who is still looking for a new club after becoming a free agent in summer.

The Turkish Super Lig club is in talks with Monaco to sign the Columbia forward on-loan, who has been at the Ligue 1 club since signing for £50m from Atletico Madrid in 2013.

Radamel Falcao bagged the winner on his Galatasaray debut against Kasimpasa on Friday night. The 33-year-old scored the only goal of the game as the Turkish champions won 1-0.

A lot can happen in three years. Rewind to the 2016-17 season and Monaco were making fools out of PSG, who were favourites to lift their fifth title in a row before a rude awakening.
