Rafa’s Valencia

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 UEFA cup and La Liga
Rafa’s amazing double of 2004
Aimar and Albelda in the midfield
Leaving the ‘Mestalla’ shouting for more

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Vicente would raid down the left-wing
With that Spanish style and flair
Beating one, then two, his cross swirling
Mista would meet his cross in the air

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Canizares playing the goal-keeping role
With his unusual hair colours and styles
Baraja would play his part in a goal
The team playing in Rafa’s typical style

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 In the black, white and orange
His success would overwhelm
He would be a true legend
The magician Benitez at the helm

Notes

In his first season, Rafael Benitez brought the Spanish title to Valencia; A 31 year wait ended.
