Background
Iliev's father, Iliya Valov, was goalkeeper for CSKA and Bulgaria's national team. Valentin's biggest career moment was scoring a goal (after an excellent Yordan Yurukov assist), which helped CSKA Sofia secure a historic 1–0 away win over Liverpool F.C. on 23 August 2005 in the Third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. However, it did not help them qualify for the UEFA Champions League group phase, as the "armymen" were eliminated after an aggregate score of 2–3, having lost their home game.
