History of \"Valencia\": great victories and difficult times

Valencia was born in 1919, when a group of enthusiasts decided to create their club in a city where football was just starting to develop. As early as 1931, the team reached La Liga for the first time, and since then almost did not leave the elite.

The first golden period of the club began in the 40s**. Valencia won three Spanish championships (1942, 1944, 1947) and two Spanish Cups. The team played attacking football and was one of the most dangerous opponents in the country.

The next big boom – the end of the 90s – the beginning of the 2000s. Then Valencia reached the Champions League final twice (2000, 2001), but lost twice – first to Real Madrid, then to Bavaria in a penalty shootout.

\n
\"However, already in 2004, the club under the leadership of Rafa Benitez took the championship of La Liga and won the UEFA Cup, becoming the strongest team in Europe after the giants.\"
\n

And then - the fall. Financial problems, constant changes of coaches, selling of leaders. The club went through difficult times, but each time found the strength to rise. In 2019, 100 years after its foundation, \"Valencia\" did the impossible - won the Cup of Spain, defeating \"Barcelona\" in the final.

Today the team is going through a bad period, but if we know anything about Valencia, it always finds a way to come back.
