Valencia have won the Bundesliga six times and reached the Champions League final twice, but unfortunately they all returned home in disgust. This season, the young coach Bordalas once led the team to play a perfect start, and even pushed Real Madrid to the top of the list.
But then he dropped the chain one after another, winning only 1 game in 11 rounds, and his performance plummeted sharply, and he withdrew from the championship race. However, after entering December, Valencia regained its form, winning three consecutive league games in half a month, plus winning two consecutive games in the Copa del Rey, winning five consecutive games in all competitions, and returning to the top half of the table.
After the campaign, Valencia rose to 7th with 28 points, holding Barca behind them and Xavi's side back in 8th place. At present, Barça is less than one round, and they will play against Sevilla in the make-up match, which is also too fierce, so Valencia will most likely remain in the top half at the end of the half.
As for Levante, it was very miserable, after losing this game, the season has not won 18 consecutive rounds, 8 draws and 10 losses to continue to rank at the bottom. Not only is Levante the only team in the big five leagues to win, but it has not won 26 rounds across the season, setting a record for the longest winless game in La Liga.
Levante's last win was back on April 11, when he beat Eibar 1-0. Who would have thought that in the following 200 days or so, Levante would not be able to win?
