Artist Arturo Valls invited to Mestalla

Valencian artist Arturo Valls was invited, along with his family, to Mestalla to attend a Valencia CF LaLiga match recently.

He was greeted by Valencia CF president Anil Murthy, who presented him with a commemorative shirt, and got to meet the players in the dressing room tunnel ahead of the match.

"After two years without watching football live, it has been very exciting to return to where football is truly experienced," said Valls.

"It is like the cinema, it is not the same watching at home. It's nice to watch at home with friends, but it is incomparable with the crowd, the sound of a goal... It is a great pleasure to watch in person. I have come here with my father and my son, who are both Valencianistas, and it has been a lot of fun."
