😳 Gayá, the last survivor from Valencia’s last win at Camp Nou | OneFootball

The Johan Cruyff Stadium hosts the clash between Barcelona and Valencia tonight, a match that highlights a curious historical peculiarity. José Luis Gayá, the captain of the Valencian team, is the only player in the current squad who has experienced a victory on Barça's field.

This fact is not insignificant, as it underscores the historical difficulty Valencia has had on their visits to the Catalan capital. The last victory at Camp Nou dates back to April 2016, when the Valencian team won 1-2. In that match, Gayá was already part of the starting eleven. Since then, no other player from the current Valencian squad has been able to repeat that feat.

Tonight's match not only represents a new sporting challenge, but also a reminder of a recent past of adverse results for Valencia in this stronghold. Barça, for its part, will seek to maintain its home dominance and extend its winning streak against a rival who, despite the statistics, always arrives with the intention of reversing history.
