Mestalla brimming with emotions running high
Relive the emotional events that took place in the run-up to Valencia CF-Real Betis to pay tribute to the victims and those affected by the tragic flash floods
On the scoresheet against his former club in the midweek fixture against Atletico Madrid was Valencia CF striker Kevin Gameiro, as he got off the mark for the first time since March 3rd against Athletic Club. The Frenchman latched onto a great pass from Santi Mina in the 36th minute to cancel out Álvaro Morata's early strike.
Unfortunately, VCF would end up losing the game, but the forward reiterated his side's dedication to continuing in the battle for fourth place.
"We fought the entire game to try and win -or at least draw. We came back twice, but then they scored their late goal in a way that is difficult to imagine. We are going to fight to the end," he told VCF Media after the match.
"We scored two goals, and it's really difficult to score against Atletico Madrid, but we should learn from these matches."
"We're going to fight; we have four LaLiga games remaining and we're going to fight to the end in all three competitions, be it the league, Copa del Rey or Europa League," the Frenchman emphasised.
On his goal, Gameiro commented that "I always like to help my team. I like playing for Valencia CF and we have a good group here. We are still in all three competitions. I'm very happy here and I'm sure that we are going to achieve something good at the end of the season."
