The Valencia kit designers obviously had too much of a Dark Knight experience…. so it doesn’t matter if Juan Mata and David Silva look like they have extra chest hair. Valencia defeated Sevilla 2-0 and Freddy Kanoute was sent off for two “unfair” challenges in Unai Emery’s opening test of the season yesterday. The other goal came from Pablo Hernandez.

“We have passed one test and will continue studying for the next one,” said the Valencia coach.

Meanwhile, poor Atletico fell to a 3-0 defeat at Malaga which saw goals from Nabil Baha and defender, Manu (in his full league debut) before Xavi Torres added a third. ¡que pasaaaaa la gente?!

“It was our worst game since the pre-season,” said coach Abel Resino. “We have to keep working to rectify these mistakes because the league has only just started.”
