Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • Valencia have scored once in their first four league matches, the lowest goalscoring total in the club’s history at that stage.
  • The team has one point from a possible 12 after losing 0-5 to Barcelona, with Umar Sadiq scoring its only goal of the campaign.
  • Valencia’s points record is not their worst after four matches, as they have previously started three seasons without taking a point.

Valencia’s 0-5 defeat to Barcelona at Mestalla has left the club with the worst goalscoring start in its history. After four league matches, Carlos Corberán’s team has scored only once.

That goal came from Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq in a 3-1 defeat away to Deportivo in the third round. Valencia’s other three matches have produced no goals: a 0-0 draw with Celta, a 0-1 loss to Betis and Sunday’s heavy defeat by Barcelona, all at Mestalla except the match in A Coruña.

The club has taken one point from a possible 12. Its previous worst record after four matches was two goals, a mark recorded four times, most recently in the 2015-16 season under Nuno Espírito Santo. Valencia also had two-goal starts in the 1997-98, 1969-70 and 1959-60 campaigns.

The current start is not Valencia’s worst in terms of points. The club failed to collect any points after four matches in 2016-17, 1999-2000 and 1997-98.
