On Friday, Valencia and Real Madrid will play the first La Liga match of 2025. This match was originally scheduled to be played in early November, but was postponed due to storm DANA, which caused significant damage to the Valencian community.
In recent years, this match at Mestalla has been a fiery event, especially after the racist abuse incident involving Vinicius Junior in 2023. However, respect will be shown before the match.
According to Marca, Valencia will pay a small tribute to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez before kick-off, which they will do because of Los Blancos' contribution to helping the victims of Storm DANA's devastation.
Friday's match promises to be a scintillating affair as Valencia look to start well under new head coach Carlos Corberan. However, it will be very difficult to beat Real Madrid, although they have avoided defeat in this match (at Mestalla) for the last two seasons.
