David Villa still holds Valencia close to his heart, so much so he has promised not to celebrate if he scores against them when they face Barcelona.
"I will try to score. I'm professional and I'm defending Barca colours but it's the same as against Sporting," he told fcbarcelona.cat.
"I have a great deal of affection for Valencia and in respect to all the people there and for all those who have made me better, I will not celebrate.
"It's very special for me because that's the team where I've been very happy for the last five years."
He added: "It brings back very good memories. I'm happy facing them, especially being able to see all the friends I have there and to be able to enjoy their company, even if it's just one day.
"My first steps were at Sporting (Gijon), then I played at Zaragoza but the club that have given me everything football-wise has been Valencia."
"In those five years I've been able to play for the national team, play in the Champions League and I've been able to fight for many titles.
"I've won one and there's no doubt that those five years have been the most important of my life. Thanks to them I'm at Barca."
