Club career
Falcón was born in Cádiz, Andalusia. After beginning his football career at local Cádiz CF he was signed by Atlético Madrid aged 20 to finish his development, and he eventually battled for second-choice status during two seasons with another club graduate, Iván Cuéllar, appearing in five La Liga matches during 2005–06, the first being a 1–1 away draw against Athletic Bilbao on 3 December 2005 where he replaced injured Leo Franco;[1] he also represented the reserves during his tenure.[2]
After a small loan stint in the second division, Falcón was released (as Cuéllar) in July 2008 and joined another club in that level, RC Celta de Vigo.[3]
