Celta Vigo boss Paco Herrera has admitted that his team will be hard pushed to stop Radamel Falcao on Friday.

The Celestes face Atletico Madrid tomorrow, and the 59-year-old Coach has called the Colombian 'the best pure nine in the world'.

“Falcao is now the world's best pure No. 9,” he told a Press conference. “Another striker who I also love is Karim Benzema, although he's perhaps not an 'old-fashioned' striker.

“But he does not have a finishers' brain like Falcao does.

“We'll have to do very well to defend against him because in the area he is a phenomenon.

“He is obviously a very special player, but we will also have to pay close attention to the likes of Diego Costa and Adrian, if he plays.”
