Valencia crisis deepens after crushing defeat in Copa del Rey

Valencia CF are one of the premier clubs in Spanish football. Only Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have amassed more points in the history of La Liga. However, Los Che have spent much of the past two years in turmoil, and face the very real prospect of relegation this season.

The Spanish giants sit 17th in La Liga, outside the relegation zone only thanks to goal difference. They have suffered nine defeats in 15 matches, winning just three times. Across all competitions, Valencia have played 18 games without keeping a single clean sheet.
