Despite his exploits for his country, one of the most stand out moments involving Valencia as a huge footballing figure had nothing to do with his football.

Child support case

In 2016, Valencia was chased by police, despite being on a stretcher, in a bizarre child maintenance case.

The incident took place during a game against Chile, which ended in a comfortable 3-0 win for Ecuador.

As reported on Daily Star, at the time, lawyers were unable to detail the striker ahead of the Chille fixture, and he somehow was able to be selected in the match day squad.

During the game, Valencia went down injured and had to be stretchered off, and that is when drama ensued.

In interesting footage, Valencia was chased down by police officers, who struggled to catch up to the cart the striker was being ferried on.

Valencia so far has 74 caps for his country, with 35 goals.
