Atletico reserved 3,000 tickets for Colombian’s living in Spain, 2,000 of which have already been sold at a discounted price of eight euros.
Falcao encouraged more Colombian’s to go to the Vincente Calderon stadium, saying that it was a good chance to share “all together the joy mega talent on show.”
