Ninot presented to Atletico Madrid by Anil Murthy

As part of the 'Sempre Falles' initiative, Valencia CF president Anil Murthy handed over the themed Ninot for the match against Atletico Madrid to their vice-president, Antonio Alonso, before kickoff.

The figurine, created by artist Vicente Espeleta from Fallas Espeleta in Burriana, features a player performing an overhead kick above the 'Hemisfèric' building at Valencia's Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. There is also a reference to the Atletico Madrid crest, with a tree and a bear included.

The Sempre Falles initiative is being run jointly with the Valencia Ayuntamiento city council, and is part of the 'Sempre Valencia' campaign to support the region from a health, economic and social perspective.
