The Colombian confidently placed his penalty into the top corner of Jordi Masip's goal to level the shoot-out at 1-1 before Chelsea went on to beat the Champions League holders 4-2. The match had ended 2-2 with goals coming from Eden Hazard and Gary Cahill for Chelsea and Luis Suarez and Sandro Ramirez for Barcelona.
Falcao also converted a penalty in his first match for Chelsea, a shoot-out win over French champions PSG.
