Valencia CF will pay tribute to Valencia CF legend, Ángel Castellanos, before the Valencia CF-Villarreal CF match. A minute's silence will be held in the moments before the start of the match corresponding to the 19th matchday of LaLiga EA Sports 23-24.

Ángel Castellanos was one of those Club players whose hard work, honesty and professionalism made him an important player who marked an era in which the Mestalla team won the Copa del Rey, Cup Winners' Cup and European Super Cup. 

In his ten seasons with VCF, he was a starter with all the coaches who bet on this tactical midfielder, , an 'all-rounder' who recovered countless balls and who was very supportive with his teammates when it came to covering. He was an example of competitiveness and commitment.

He landed at Valencia CF in the summer of 1976 under the guidance of 'Pasieguito' and established himself definitively in the center of the midfield after changing position several times throughout his career. He arrived as a central midfielder and later triumphed as a defensive pivot. Saura, Subirats, Solsona and Mario Alberto Kempes were the great beneficiaries of his great work.

His progression was constant and, after making a name for himself at Granada CF, he arrived at Mestalla in the mid 70's to stay for ten seasons at Valencia CF, during which he played 468 games between official and friendly matches. His last game in the Valencia CF shirt was on April 20, 1986.
