After a disastrous two year period in England, Radamel Falcao has found his form back in France as he netted his first hat-trick since 2012 in Saturday's victory over Bordeaux.
The Colombian returned to the Principality in the hope of repaying their loyalty towards him and he has done just that this season by scoring 11 goals in his last 10 matches.
Coach Leonardo Jardim gained confidence from the forward's displays in pre-season and has been vindicated.
The 2016/17 season has been kinder to Falcao than the last two years both in terms of his form and fitness with the 30-year-old having netted at least once in ten different matches this term.
Falcao goals in 2016/17

    Monaco 2-2 Montpellier (2 goals)
    St-Etienne 1-1 Monaco
    Monaco 3-0 CSKA Moscow (2 goals)
    Monaco 6-0 Nancy (2 goals)
    Lorient 0-3 Monaco
    Monaco 2-1 Tottenham
    Monaco 4-0 Olympique Marseille
    Dijon 1-1 Monaco
    Monaco 5-0 Bastia (2 goals)
    Bordeaux 0-4 Monaco (3 goals)

Few thought the veteran could ever return to his best yet his work this season has placed him among the top scorers in France.
Only Edinson Cavani and Alexandre Lacazette are above Falcao this season with 14 and 11 goals respectively.
