Valencia legend Santiago Canizares expects fans to hammer Barcelona striker Paco Alcacer today.

Canizares doesn't think Alcacer will be well received after his transfer from the club to Barcelona in the summer.

Speaking to Cadena Ser radio, Canizares noted that Valencia fans always receive Real Madrid and Barcelona with a raucous atmosphere, and in Alcacer's case the tension will be increased further still.

"I don't expect them to receive Alcacer well, anything else would be a surprise," he said. "When he left, the fans didn't know how to digest it well."

Canizares added: "Maybe they will treat Andre Gomes better than Alcacer." He also said that "it hurts me" that they will abuse Alcacer, "because it's undeserved. HE left to Barcelona because he didn't see an interesting project at Valencia. If he had seen something good, being captain and a figurehead of the team, he wouldn't have left. To Barcelona or anywhere. There's no money that gives you the feeling of being happy in your home."
