Valencia lost 1-2 to Real Madrid in the 12th round of Spain's La Liga in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio de Mestalla in Valencia, Spain on the 4th (Korea time). Valencia suffered a loss in vain by allowing a theater run just before the end of the second half against Real, where 10 players are playing.
Valencia fans held a violent protest against the owner, Peter Lim, shouting "Get Out". Valencia fans' anger has reached a level that can no longer be controlled.
Originally, Valencia was one of the best teams in La Liga that could threaten Barcelona and Real Madrid enough until the mid-2010s. He won six La Liga championships and was a famous Spanish player who also won the UEFA Europa League.

The start of the problem was from the 2019-2020 season. Lim suddenly replaced Marcelino, who was loved by his fans. Conflict with owner Lim is considered the main cause. Albert Celades, who did not have any experience as a first-team coach, was brought in on behalf of Marcelino.
From this point on, Valencia began to crumble. Valencia's performance crashed due to the owner's bulldozer operation, who was not familiar with soccer. As the club fell, the manager continued to be replaced, and in the meantime, Lee Kang-in began to be frustrated because he could not secure a chance to play. Lee Kang-in's growth was delayed, and in the end, Lee Kang-in rejected Valencia's offer to renew his contract and decided to leave the team.

Even after Lee Kang-in left, Valencia broke down endlessly, and now there is a financial crisis and it has reached a level where it is not possible to recruit players properly. The club's management became increasingly closed as the issue of delayed payment of the team's wages arose.

Football outlet Footboom said "Clashes with police near the stadium occurred during a demonstration by thousands of Valencia supporters against the Lim owner and Valencia club management. In one of the most hostile moments held just before the match, tensions rose to the point where the authorities had to take action shortly after some protesters provoked police officers," the report said.
"After the team's value has fallen significantly over the past few years, Valencia fans' anger at Lim owners and club leaders has reached an all-time high level," he added. It is expected that Valencia fans will continue to protest against the owner in the future.
