Colombian superstar striker Radamel Falcao said this week that he’d much rather see his Atletico Madrid side win matches than achieve the personal goal of obtaining the Pichichi Trophy as Spain’s top scorer.

Falcao took his season tally up to 7 from just 5 league games by scoring twice on Wednesday in a 4-2 win against Real Betis. Naturally that puts him top of the current Pichichi standings, 1 ahead of Lionel Messi

“I’ve never said I want to score goals to compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the Pichichi. I want to score goals to help Atletico”, Falcao said after his two goals on Wednesday night.

The Pichichi 2012 was won by Messi with an incredible record-smashing tally of 50 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo was then second ahead of third placed Falcao who finished with 24 goals in his first season in Spain.
