The 2022-23 campaign delivered a devastating and nerve-wracking battle for survival for Valencia as Los Che desperately clung onto their top-flight status, finishing a perilous 16th in La Liga just two points clear of the relegation zone. The tumultuous season, which saw the club employ three different managers including club legend Rubén Baraja for the final fight, was defined by immense on-pitch struggle and passionate, defiant home support. The attack was anchored by the joint-top league goalscorers, the exciting duo of Samuel Lino and Justin Kluivert, who each netted 6 crucial goals. It was a dark, stressful, but ultimately memorable year that marked a dramatic escape from the drop and remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
