Jhon Andrés Córdoba lives one of the best moments of his career. At 32, the striker born in Chocó was key for Krasnodar to conquer, for the first time in his history, the title of the Russian Premier League. The club raised the trophy after a closed fight with the Zenit, which he barely exceeded a point in the table.
Córdoba, who arrived at Krasnodar in July 2021 from the Hertha de Berlin, signed a brilliant 24/25 season: 13 goals and 7 assists in 30 games, adding a league and cup. His figures not only helped the team make history, but also made him the great figure of the championship.

The recognition soon arrived. The Russian Premier League organization, after evaluating the performance of the most prominent players, gave Córdoba three awards: Best player of the season, best striker and best goal.
The award -winning and the best of the year scored on date 13, in the Samara Arena against Krylia Sovétov, when the clock scored the 42nd minute. A goal that reflected its power and quality, characteristics that have scored their entire career.
Despite this great moment in Russia, Córdoba has not achieved the same impact by wearing the Colombian national team in the qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup. Although it has been frequently convened by coach Néstor Lorenzo since last year, he has not been able to consolidate as headline and his numbers have not lived up to their performances at the club level.
Beyond this, his performance in Russian football confirms it as one of the most determining Colombian strikers in Europe today. With a renewed contract and the confidence of his club, Jhon Córdoba continues to write his story away from home, but making it clear that his name deserves recognition.
