In the case of racism, we tried to explain it to you, but you didn’t show up on any day like the deal you yourself asked for.”
On Twitter, Tebas reacted: “Before criticizing and insulting La Liga, it is essential that you are right.”

Real Madrid’s reaction
Real Madrid expressed its anger through various channels, starting with coach Carlo Ancelotti, who at the end of the game said to put sport aside.
“Do you want to talk about football or do you want to talk about something else?” , the Italian military leader was angry. “I don’t want to talk about football, but about something else, about what happened here. I think that’s the most important thing.”
Vinicius reacts that Valencia must be relegated.
Ancelotti said that when Vini discovered the insults amid Real Madrid’s attack in the second half, he wanted to leave the game. But the captain insisted that was not the solution: “I told him: I didn’t. It seems fair that you have to stop, you’re not the culprit, you’re the victim.”
Thibaut Courtois also expressed outrage at what young teammates had to endure: “If Vini says ‘I don’t play anymore’, I will leave the field with him. That’s something we can’t stand.”
Ancelotti expressed his reflections with cumulative details regarding Vinicius: “We have a problem. Not my own. For me, Vini is the strongest player in the world. La Liga has problems. With this racism, they have to stop the game.”
Carletto wants a tough response: “It’s not just one person. This is a stadium that insults a player with racist crimes and the game has to be stopped. I would say the same if we win 3- 0. You have to stop the game. There’s no other way.”
From the other side of the technical bench, Ruben Baraja criticized Vinicius’s insults and reactions: ” You have to strongly condemn the racist things, which are only a minority, but the behavior of the players when Being sent off can also be improved.”
Courtois is ready to quit the match with Vinicius.

Lucas Vazquez, who often accompanied Vinicius in explosive moments on the pitch, reacted: “Vini is another player, top three in the world. We should protect Vini so that he continues for many years at Real Madrid. and La Liga. No one is helping him. Vini is young and personal reaction can improve, but that doesn’t mean everyone can attack him.”
