"It leaves a bad taste in our mouths, after the good game that we had against Real Sociedad," Valencia star Denis Cheryshev said after their draw with Vallecano.
"I think that we were motivated to take the win. We got ahead, but we weren't able to maintain the advantage and in the end they equalised.
"Maybe we took a step back in the second half, but then -as we needed to fight back and score- we took a step forward," he continued.
"They had several dangerous counter attacks. I think that the result is a fair one, but insufficient for us, because we want to win."
The last meeting between Celta and Valencia in a league match was on 20 February 2021.
Valencia humbled Celta as they claimed a 2-0 win in an encounter that was played at the Estadio de Mestalla.
