Celta are preparing to face Atletico this weekend and are wary of the task at hand.

“Falcao is now the world's best pure No. 9,” said Herrera. “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."
