However, the blaugranas arrive with a series in front of the rojiblancos very positive. In the last 20 parties of LaLiga, have achieved 14 victories and 6 ties. In ten years, the Barça has not lost in front of the picture directed by the Cholo Simeone, neither in the Calderón or Wanda Metropolitan, neither in the Camp Nou.

The rivalry saldó with two defeats ppara the group 'ché' and a victory. The triumph, in the Glass, went extremely important, since it gave him to Valencia the pass to the semifinals of the competition, that later finished winning in front of the Getafe.
In January of 2008, a so much of David Silva in the party of the gone was the key for the classification of the Valencians. A week afterwards, in Vicente Calderón, lost by 2-3 and went the goal of the midfield player that finished giving him the pass to the ones of Koeman to the following phase of the Glass of Rey, by the double value of the goals in contrary field.
In LaLiga the memory is negative
The only party in which the Dutch technician was in the bench of Valencia in front of the Atleti of Javier Aguirre, in LaLiga, finished in a defeat in Vicente Calderón for the ones of Koeman. A goal of Sergio 'The Kun' Aguero gave him the victory to the colchoneros, ten days before they saw in the Glass of Rey.
