Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Hijos del Mestalla — Valencia CF's official anthem was composed in 1919, not 1993.

Inauguración de Mestalla (1923) — The match did not end in a 1-0 victory for Valencia CF; it ended in a 1-0 victory for the visiting team, Castellón Castalia.

Inauguración de Mestalla (1923) — The stadium was not called 'Nou Mestalla' at the time; that name refers to a later, unbuilt project. The original name was simply 'Estadio de Mestalla' or 'Mestalla'.

Copa del Rey 1999 — The manager listed is Héctor Cúper, but the actual manager of Valencia CF during the 1998-99 Copa del Rey campaign was Claudio Ranieri.

Copa del Rey 1999 — The third goal was scored by Gaizka Mendieta, not Miguel Ángel Angulo.

1971 La Liga Title — The top scorer is listed as Fernando Ansola with 12 goals, but the actual top scorer for Valencia CF in the 1970-71 La Liga season was Fernando Ansola with 13 goals, not 12.

2002 La Liga Title — The top scorer is listed as Rubén Baraja with 7 goals, but the actual top scorer for Valencia in the 2001-2002 La Liga season was Fernando Morientes (on loan from Real Madrid) with 12 goals, or if considering only Valencia-owned players, Juan Sánchez had 9 goa

1979 Copa del Rey Win — The claim that José Antonio Irízar became the first coach to win a major trophy with Valencia after taking over during a difficult period is factually incorrect; earlier coaches such as Jacinto Quincoces (1941 Copa del Rey) had already done so.

Salva Ballesta — Salva's most celebrated moment with Valencia CF is described as 'in the summer of 2001' and 'scored five goals to help the club end a 31-year league title drought.' In reality, Valencia won the 2001–02 La Liga title, with the season ending in May 2002, not sum

Salva Ballesta — The entry says Salva 'moved abroad briefly with Bolton Wanderers in 2003 to help them avoid Premier League relegation.' The phrasing implies a more decisive impact than is widely recorded; he joined on loan and Bolton finished 17th, but the claim is misleading

Gaizka Mendieta — Mendieta made his professional debut for Valencia, not Castellón

Gaizka Mendieta — The description of his 1999 Copa del Rey goal says he flicked it over two defenders, but it was actually over one defender
