OFFICIAL STATEMENT I AGAINST FALSEHOODS AND FOR THE RESPECT OF OUR FANS

www.valenciacf.com

Valencia CF categorically reject the false statements made by the player Rodrygo Goes, in which he said that the entirety of Mestalla participated in racist chants towards his teammate.

Such statements are serious lies that contribute to stigmatising an exemplary fanbase in a completely unfair way.

Just like his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who corrected his statements after the game, we ask Rodrygo Goes to also correct these false statements. Valencia CF reserve the right to take the appropriate legal measures to defend the honour of our club and fans.

Also, we must ask the players to have rigour and responsibility when making statements.

Once again, we want to emphasise our strongest condemnation of any type of racism or violence, as demonstrated by the lifetime ban for the three fans involved in this unfortunate incident. There is no doubt about our commitment to eradicating this scourge on society.

Likewise, we ask for the utmost respect for our fans and that they not be attacked with false information and hoaxes.

TOGETHER AGAINST RACISM.

RESPECT FOR OUR FANS.
