Carlos Bakka is a very promising striker of the Colombian national team and the Italian club “Milan”. He was born in 1986, September 8, in a place called Barranquilla. Well, it's worth talking about the biography of this famous player and his career.
The beginning of professional activity
Carlos Bakka began playing in the amateur clubs of his native Barranquilla. In 2007, at a fairly mature age, he was noticed and decided to invite him to the city team. It was called Atletico Junior. Actually, this was the player’s first professional contract. At first he performed on loan, also at a local club named after the city. For 27 games held as part of Barranquilla, he scored 12 goals against opponents. He also played for FC Minervain. There he also scored 12 goals, only not for 27, but for 29 games. With this, he helped the team win a ticket to “Example”. In 2009, as an Atletico Junior player, Carlos Bakka was recognized as the top scorer of the Colombian Cup. And after a while (to be more precise - after a year), he was awarded the title of top scorer of the Colombian Aperture. It is interesting that in 2011 football player Carlos Bakka repeated each of these achievements.
Relocation to Belgium
Carlos Bakka gradually gained fame. Thanks to his successful performances, he attracted the attention of many popular clubs. And with teams like Chievo and Lokomotiv (Moscow), the player was even close to signing a contract. However, fans of the capital's Russian club did not wait for Carlos Bakka to appear in Lokomotiv, as the deal fell through. The player even said that he had gone to Russia, but the club’s representative office had already bought Felipe Caichedo.
But in 2012, the Belgian team “Brugge” bought the football player. And for a rather large amount - 2 500 000 euros. His debut took place on January 21 - then Carlos Bakka replaced. The first few months, the Colombian had to fight to enter 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 scored a ball into the goal of “Ghent”. And in 2013, he began to receive much more playing time. Therefore, it is not surprising that Carlos received the title of best scorer of the Belgian championship, and then - the best player.
Sevilla
In 2013, Carlos Bakka was invited to Seville, with whom he signed an agreement until 2018. 16 days after the conclusion of the contract, he has already issued his first goal. And on September 25, he scored twice for the opponents. It was a game against Rayo Vallecano.
In 2014, on March 26, he became famous due to the fact that he twice scored a goal for Real Madrid. It was really his match, because the game ended with a slippery score of 2: 1, of course, in favor of “Seville”. In the Europa League, he scored a goal against Porto, thanks to which the Spanish club went further. And in May 2015, in the final of the Europa League, which was held against Dnipro, again taking a double. And again it was his match. With a score of 3: 2, which until the last kept fans in suspense, “Seville” became the winner of the Europa League. Thus, Carlos took revenge on the Ukrainian club, which once in a ¼ tournament knocked out “Brugge” - the former club of the Colombian - 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 the vice-champion of the country. With the Belgian “Club Brugge” he won the title of vice champion in the 2011/12 season. And with “Seville” became the winner of the UEFA Europa League. Unless with his national team, he has so far achieved nothing.
The Colombian also has personal rewards. He is considered the top scorer in Belgium, Colombia, as well as the championship of this country.
Where is the Colombian playing now? In 2015, Carlos Bakka left Sevilla. “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 the one paid by the Rossoneri. In the Italian club, Carlos showed himself almost immediately to the field - two months after signing the contract, he already scored his first goal, and a few weeks later scored a double, thereby gaining the trust of fans and recognition from teammates. Well, you should continue to monitor the career and activities of this player, because he will definitely achieve considerable success in this field.
