Review
This was a mid-season friendly game, held at Valencia's stadium during the World Cup break of 2022. Forest wore an all-red kit in recognition of the kit we played in against Valencia in the Fairs Cup fixture on Sep 13, 1961, which was the first time a European side visited the Mestalla to compete in an official match.
