Kiat Lim, president of Valencia, returned to the city ahead of a crucial match against Barcelona to be held at Mestalla. According to Mundo Deportivo, Lim arrived at Manises Airport this Sunday, a month after his last visit.

Cameras from Tribuna Deportiva captured his arrival, where he was seen among the team’s traveling party. It is reported that Lim flew in on a private jet ahead of a match that marks a critical moment for the club.

Meanwhile, Valencia fans mobilized at the entrance of the stadium in protest. According to 20minutos, hundreds of supporters gathered to demonstrate against the club’s management, expressing their discontent with the current situation.
