📊 Valencia make history with a derby double over Levante | OneFootball

Valencia CF has written a golden page in the history of regional football after their recent 0-2 victory at the Ciutat de València.

Under the guidance of Carlos Corberán, the Mestalla team has achieved what no one managed in the previous sixteen seasons in which both clubs coincided in the top category: winning both matches in the same season in the Turia derby.

This triumph marks the first "double" of victories in the same season for a city team in the entire history of the derbies. After the 1-0 achieved in the first round at Mestalla, the black and white team confirms its current dominance over Levante UD, collecting six out of six possible points against their eternal rival.

Carlos Corberán, who arrived at the match under scrutiny due to recent results, comes out significantly strengthened. The coach from Cheste becomes the first manager, after 151 historical encounters, to win both league duels against the neighbor in the same football season.

End to a historical curse

Historically, equality had been the dominant note in these encounters. Of the 17 seasons shared in the First Division, there had never been a repeated winner in both matches, partly due to the frequency of draws in the first-leg matches, which blocked this statistical possibility.

With this result, Valencia not only takes the honor of the city but also breaks a historical curse.
