Six goals in five games for Colombia at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil marked him out as a special talent, including a late consolation from the penalty spot against the hosts in a 2-1 quarter-final defeat. Later that summer, he signed for Real Madrid but with a goal return of one every three games he spent two largely unproductive seasons on loan at Bayern Munich before returning to Spain last summer.
