OFFICIAL STATEMENT | VALENCIA CF, SEVILLA FC AND VILLARREAL CF JOINTLY CONDEMN SERIOUS DISRESPECT BY LUIS RUBIALES

In response to the information published by "El Confidencial" on Tuesday, October 11th, regarding alleged statements made by Luis Rubiales, Valencia CF, Sevilla FC and Villarreal CF wish to jointly express condemnation of the serious disrespect shown by the president of the RFEF towards our clubs.

The conversations, which include insults, animosity and arrogance towards the three institutions, are unacceptable coming from a person who holds a position of such responsibility and who must look after the interests of all Spanish football clubs equally.

Valencia CF, Sevilla FC and Villarreal CF condemn Luis Rubiales' lack of respect towards our entities and, most importantly, towards the feelings of the fans. Likewise, we wish to express our utmost concern for the possible consequences of his attitude towards our clubs, since his behaviour does not contribute to the transparency of the competition.

Valencia CF, Sevilla FC and Villarreal CF urge Luis Rubiales to rectify the situation and publicly apologise to the three institutions and our fans.
