It wasn't to be Valencia 1 - CD Tenerife 0

Well I haven't cried for a couple of hours so I thought I might try to write here how I feel. We were so hopeful. Arriving in Valencia on Friday night we had the chance on Saturday to look around the city, including the new stadium that will be finished when Valencia finds some more money. It's not just us with money worries although theirs are bigger then ours.
The city is lovely and the people we talked to all hoped we would do well in the game on Sunday.

The players on Sunday morning when they took their walk seemed calm.

 There were smiles and they stopped to chat and sign an awesome display that two fans had drawn.

There was a fan meeting in one of the plazas in the centre of town and hundreds of people were there. Singing and supporting CD Tenerife.

The match started at 7pm and although the players tried their best, they couldn't save themselves. There was unilt the 9+ minute a hope that real Mwould score a second goal and then we would have been saved but in extra time Alexis scored and that was relegation for CD Tenerife.
