Valencia’s 2025 Season: A Roller Coaster of Emotions

The year 2025 has proven to be another challenging one for Valencia. The team has exhibited signs of distress and difficulty, leaving behind a complex array of emotions. At the beginning of January, the squad seemed nearly relegated, lingering at the bottom of the standings and fighting for survival. However, as the months progressed from January to June, they managed to turn the tide, achieving positive results and transforming into a markedly different team.

Nonetheless, the latter half of 2025 has seen a resurgence of pessimism and tension as the current season unfolds, placing the team once again in the lower echelons of the league.

The players have primarily borne the brunt of this pressure on the field. They either had to uplift the team’s performance or risk descending into the second division. This year, like the last, has followed a similar trajectory, with the team finding itself once again at the bottom of the rankings.

Diego López, the player with the most appearances in 2025, has navigated this tumultuous atmosphere of triumphs and defeats, experiencing a true rollercoaster of emotions. The Asturian forward has played a total of 44 matches across both the league and the cup, a feat unmatched by any teammate.

Following him in gameplay time is Javi Guerra, with 41 matches. Tárrega and Luis Rioja have both participated in 40 games, while Hugo Duro and Pepelu have each contributed in 38 matches.

From January to June 2025, the team’s performance yielded eleven victories, six draws, and five losses. In contrast, the latter half of the year saw them with six wins, six draws, and seven defeats.

This performance indicates that the Valencia player with the most field time has achieved a total of 17 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses, with many of these results bolstered by cup performances against lower-tier teams in both the previous and current seasons.
