Every time Colombia come to play Argentina at the Monumental, the local fans are reminded of the twice World Cup winners' most humiliating home defeat - 5-0 in 1993.
.
Friday's World Cup qualifier will be no different as Falcao's Colombia look for a victory that would put them within two points of South American group leaders Argentina.
.
They will fancy their chances, too, if Lionel Messi is not fit enough to start for Argentina, bringing back memories of Diego Maradona watching from the stands as Colombia tore apart the home side 20 years ago.
.
Messi, ever present so far in the 16-match series, resumed training this week after a three-week recovery process from a hamstring injury.
.
"With Messi, the best in the world, it would be better if he didn't play," said Colombia defender Luis Amaranto Perea, "But Colombia need to think about doing their best with whoever plays and Argentina have great, marvellous players," he told reporters in Buenos Aires.
.
The 1993 match was seen as a coming of age for Colombia with a golden generation led by Carlos Valderrama and Faustino Asprilla whose victory sent them to the 1994 finals in the United States as one of the favourites.
.
Now Colombia have a side spearheaded by striker Falcao that could become as good as the 1990s vintage.
.
"Everything Colombia generate ends with Falcao as centre forward. The first thing we have to do is deactivate that circuit," Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano said.
.
"Colombia have midfielders with good technique, fullbacks who go deep, they have a great team."
