Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has hailed Radamel Falcao's latest performance against Chelsea as "indescribable".
The former Argentina player said he was speechless after watching Falcao dismantle the Blues with a stunning first-half hat-trick at the Stade Louis II in the European Super Cup.
Atletico Madrid ran out 4-1 winners over a lacklustre Chelsea, who never got out of the blocks.
Speaking after the match, Simeone said: "I am speechless. I really cannot describe it. What Radamel is doing is indescribable.
"He is a boy that, whenever you set the bar high, he sets it higher and rises to the occasion. He has dedication much higher than is normal. I have known him since he was young and he is always demanding. Pressure is the source of his strength."
Falcao, who has been linked with a move away from the Vicente Calderon, was overjoyed by his display.
"It exceeded my expectations and is more than I could dream," he said.
"I was dreaming of winning the Super Cup and dreaming of scoring goals but even then, it exceeded my expectations."
