Month's best moment
View attachment 248268
The Spanish Cup win over 2 legs against Real Madrid was the best moment of Valencia's month, in fact of Valencia season so far. with 5 minutes left to go in the second leg Real Madrid was going through until Jonas scored a 88 minute winner.

Month's worst moment
View attachment 248269View attachment 248270
Valencia lost 2-0 to Mallorca in the Spanish Cup semi final first leg which was a real big disappointment after first seeing Barcelona lose to Ath Madrid and beating Real Madrid in the round before. It will take a big effort from Baraja's boys to turn around the result.

Valencia Celebrate as they beat Ath. Madrid 1-0 a great moment and another win that pushed them up the league.

Valencia was outclassed by Barcelona, eventually losing 3-0. For the 2nd game against Barcelona a man got sent off Ricardo Costa after 35 minutes. Valencia have had terrible luck with red cards against top teams as they also had a man sent off against Real Madrid.

Baraja's boys bounced back after losing to Barcelona by murdering Sevilla 5-0 and Jonas had no mercy. He scored 4 goals and it was the perfect response from the Mestalla based squad.

Month's worst moment

Lyon beat Valencia in the Champions League first leg 1-0 Christian Benitez scored the only goal but if we are being honest Lyon could have won 4 or 5 nil. They had a goal cancelled out and missed a penalty. Baraja admitted after the game that his side was lucky and are fortunate to still have a chance to turn it around in the second leg.

Nah, Brazil is one of the so called "world powers" so do something hard, like Afghanistan or Ghana or something.
