Without actually knowing David Villa, it’s impossible to know how emotional his return to the Mestalla will be, but it’s likely that the FC Barcelona striker will struggle to think only about the football match that he’s about to play. The former Valencia CF man is a legend at the club, having scored well into the triple digit goals and winning La Liga and the former UEFA Cup with the team. When Barcelona came calling and his cash-strapped former club decided to cash in, the fans could hardly blame Villa for making the move. He’s likely to get a warm reception at the ground where he became an international star, and it will be interesting to see how much that affects his play.
Spanish La Liga, Round 26: Valencia CF Vs. FC Barcelona, Davild Villa Returns To The Mestalla
To be completely honest, there’s not a whole lot at stake in this game. Valencia are all but locked into third or fourth position and La Liga, while it would be stunning to see Barcelona relinquish first place after Real Madrid’s stumble on the weekend. Still, it will be worth watching because of the Villa angle alone, and because these are two very good football teams. Though the result of this match is unlikely to have a significant effect on the year-end table, it should still be very entertaining to watch two excellent football teams play some football.
So, instead of stressing out about what the result of the match might mean for either team, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. It should be a good one.
