Following the serious events that occured in the game against Cadiz CF, Valencia CF players took to social media to make clear their opposition to racism in all forms:

José Luis Gayà: Racism is incompatible with our society. It will never fit with the values of football. #stopracism

Jaume Domènech: No racism in football can be tolerated! NEVER AGAIN. All our support goes to Diakhaby. #notoracism #noalracism

Gabriel Paulista: As Valencia CF captain, I'm very proud of how the team supported Diakhaby by leaving the pitch. No human being deserves such humiliation. After that, everything else lost meaning. We have all lost -and I am not talking about the result. Us, Cádiz, and football in general. NO TO RACISM, NO TO RACISTS. #NoToRacism #SayNoToRacism

Carlos Soler: We are behind you, Diakhaby. This cannot happen again, either on a football pitch or in any walk of life. Let's end racism NOW! We love you, brother. #NoAlRacismo #AllToPlayFor

Cristian Rivero: We are with you, Diaka. This cannot be tolerated; we don't want to see a teammate so hurt in the dressing room again. Racism and racist behaviour has no place either in football or anywhere else. #stopracism #noalracism

Yunus Musah: We have TOTAL SUPPORT for Diakhaby. NO TO RACISM. Racism cannot exist in football or in society. We all have to fight for a society without discrimination. We are all with you, MON FRÈRE. #JuntsAnemAMUNT #AllToPlayFor #NoToRacism

Thierry Correia: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR RACISM! Today was a very difficult match for me after what happened with Diakhaby. I've been through a similar situation and I know how difficult it was for him. I hope everyone knows that we stand alongside him.

Daniel Wass: Today we experienced a very serious situation. My teammate and friend Diakhaby received a racist insult from an opposition player. We left the field of play because the game could not continue after such events. Diakhaby asked us to go back out and play because they told us that they were going to punish us by deducting the points from the game, and perhaps some more. It's a shame that these things still happen. There is still much to do. We are by your side, Diaka #NoToRacism
