Two travels in a row for Valencia, whose manager J. Gracia Carlos could celebrate last time after the Copa Del Rey win against Terrassa (after extra-time). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Athletic Club in the La Liga.
An amazing comeback from Valencia last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Gonçalo Guedes scoring the winning goal in the 108th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Terrassa (after extra-time) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
