Carlos Bacca: all the fun about the career of a Colombian footballer

Carlos Bacca is a very promising forward of the Colombian national team and the Italian club Milan. He was born in 1986, on September 8, in a place called Barranquilla. Well, it's worth talking about the biography of this famous player and his career.

Start of professional activity

Carlos Bacca started playing in the amateur clubs of his native Barranquilla. In 2007, at a fairly mature age, he was noticed and decided to invite to the city team. It was called "Atletico Junior". Strictly speaking, this was the first professional contract of the player. At first he acted in rent, also in a local club, named after the city. For 27 games, held in the "Barranquilla", he designed 12 goals in the gate rivals. He also played for FC Minerven. There he also scored 12 goals, only not for 27, but for 29 games. This he helped the team to win a ticket to the "Example". In 2009, as a player of "Atletico Junior", Carlos Bacca was recognized as the top scorer of the Colombian Cup. And after a while (to be more precise - a year later), he was given the title of the best scorer of the Colombian Apertura. Interestingly, in 2011, each of these achievements, footballer Carlos Bacca repeated.

Moving to Belgium

Carlos Bacca gradually gained fame. He, thanks to his successful performances, attracted the attention of many popular clubs. And with teams like "Chievo" and "Locomotive" (Moscow), the player was even close to signing the contract. However, the fans of the capital's Russian club did not wait for Carlos Bakka to appear in Lokomotiv, as the deal broke down. The player even told that he went to Russia, but the club's representative office already bought Felipe Caicedo.

But in 2012, a football player bought the Belgian team "Bruges". And for a rather large amount - 2,500,000 euros. His debut took place on January 21 - then Carlos Bacca came on as a substitute. The first few months the Colombian had to fight to go on the field in the first team. And he did it. He began to score goals, which caused confidence. So, for example, on April 15 of the same year he designed the ball into the goal of "Ghent". And in 2013, began to get a lot more playing time. Therefore, it is not surprising that Carlos received the title of the best scorer of the Belgian championship, and then - and the best player.

"Sevilla"

In 2013, Carlos Bacca was invited to "Seville", with which he signed the contract until 2018. 16 days after the contract was signed, he had already drawn up his first goal. And on September 25 he made a double for the opponents. It was a game against the "Rayo Vallecano".

In 2014, March 26, he became famous for having twice scored a goal to Madrid "Real". It was really his match, as the game ended with a slippery 2: 1 score, naturally, in favor of Sevilla. In ¼ of the Europa League, the ball was scored at the Porto goal, thanks to which the Spanish club went further. And in May 2015, in the final of the Europa League, which was held against the Dnipro, again taking the double. And again it was his match. With a score of 3-2, which until the last kept the fans in suspense, Sevilla became the winner of the Europa League. Thus, Carlos avenged the Ukrainian club, which once ¼ tournament knocked out "Bruges" - a former Colombian club - from the League.

Achievements

During his career, the Colombian managed to achieve a lot. With his first club "Atletico Junior" he became the champion of Colombia (twice), as well as vice-champion of the country. With the Belgian "Bruges" achieved the title of vice-champion in the season 2011/12. And with the "Seville" became the winner of the UEFA Europa League. Unless with his national team, he has not achieved anything yet.

The Colombian also has personal awards. He is considered the best scorer in Belgium, Colombia, as well as the championship of this country.

Where is the Colombian now? In 2015, Sevilla left Carlos Bakka. "Milan" bought the player for 30 million euros. Big money, given that the Spanish club bought it for an amount that is almost 15 times less than that paid by the Rossoneri. In the Italian club, Carlos almost immediately showed himself on the field - two months after the signing of the contract, he already scored his first goal, and a few weeks later he took the double, thereby gaining confidence from the fans and the recognition of team-mates. Well, you should continue to monitor the career and activities of this player, because he will definitely achieve considerable success in this field.
