The Mestalla faithful were far from pleased when Alcácer agitated for a move to Barcelona during the summer and the Spain international can expect a frosty reception when Barcelona visit Valencia.

"We'll have to boo him during the warm-up"

Cesare Prandelli, recently installed as manager at Mestalla, paid a visit to a supporters’ club on Thursday and when the subject of Alcácer’s return came up most of the fans present said he would be greeted with jeers. Several joked that they would have to boo their former idol during the warm-up, “because he’ll watch the game from the bench.”
