Valencia signed Aimar in 2001, at a price of
24 million Euros. The purchase proved justified, however, as
Aimar helped lead the team to a first-place finish in the 2001/2
Spanish season, as well as to a 2001 UEFA Champions League
final, in which they were defeated by Bayern Munich. Aimar also
has won the UEFA Cup with Valencia, defeating Olympique
Marseille in 2004. Aimar has been injured in and out recently. |
