Falcao scores as Monaco return ends in defeat to Fenerbahce

Monaco lost to Fenerbahce in the first leg of a Champions League qualifier, but Radamel Falcao marked his return with a goal.

Radamel Falcao scored in his first competitive appearance since returning to Monaco but was unable to prevent a 2-1 defeat at Fenerbahce in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie.

Following unsuccessful loan spells at Manchester United and Chelsea, Falcao has returned to the Ligue 1 side with two years still remaining on his contract.

The 30-year-old started in attack as Monaco took on Fenerbahce at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, capitalizing on a defensive error to mark his return with a close-range goal.
