Real Madrid will face Arsenal in the Champions League this week, the pre-season on Saturday was sad for Real supporters. What was supposed to be a transport leg for the reigning champions at home against the club that balanced on the relegation line, turned out to be a scoreless night for the La Liga giant. Real Madrid lost to the club Real legend Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to buy.
Valencia won the Spanish top division in 2001 and 2003, until the last five years the club was firmly in the top four in La Liga. Then came the sale of key players and a lack of investment in new players. This season, the specter of relegation has hung over the club, even the most optimistic Valencia supporters did not think they would collect points against the world’s best club.

It wasn’t just points against Real Madrid, it was a 1-2 win for Valencia and a full pot!
It is part of the story that Ancelotti was forced to give the third goalkeeper, 19-year-old Fran González, his debut due to injury, but for Valencia no less ecstatic to win against the giant.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Cristiano Ronaldo will be Valencia’s next club owner if Carlos Corberan manages to lead the club to survival in La Liga this season. Singapore billionaire Peter Lim currently owns the club, faces massive criticism from supporters, but is said to have stated as recently as March that he will not put Valencia up for sale in the near future.
