Pablo Aimar Fábio Aurélio John Carew (8 each) John Carew (13) Valencia did not succeed in defending their La Liga title, slumping to a fifth place finish. Los Che also got to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where former coach Héctor Cúper and Inter got the upper hand over Valencia and Rafael Benítez. The main player during the season was Pablo Aimar, who was the only player making waves in the season, where the previously solid defense did not perform as well as it did previously.
