Valencia will already be looking forward to next season

Post the sacking of Gary Neville, Los Che have turned things around for the better. Valencia who were dangling in 14th position under the Englishman, have recovered to a more respectable 9th position on the table. Mediocre compared to the standards they’ve set for themselves in the last decade.
They’ve regularly managed to secure a top four finish or contest for a Champions league spot at the least. Valencia currently have forty-four points, a massive forty-three behind Los Blancos. To put things into perspective, only once in La Liga history have Los Che secured 44 points or lower after thirty-six games.
This stat speaks volumes about the kind of season they’ve had. However, credit to newly appointed coach, Pako Ayestaran who has guided his team from the bottom half to the top half of the table after a horrid start to the season.
Andre Gomez almost played spoiler in Madrid’s pursuit of Barcelona, scoring a sublime late second goal to put the entire stadium on edge. Unfortunately for his side, it wasn’t to be.
