OFFICIAL STATEMENT: OBSCENE ACT SUFFERED BY LUCAS OCAMPOS AT VALLECAS

We would like to place on record our disgust at the incident that occurred this Monday during our match against Rayo Vallecano, in which our player Lucas Ocampos was subjected to an obscene and completely inappropriate act by a home fan. We hope that the appropriate measures outlined in the regulations will be taken to prevent such behaviour from happening again on a football field, and we have expressed this to LaLiga directly. These gestures and behaviors should not be allowed in our competition if we aspire to be the best league in the world. 

We send our full; support to Lucas Ocampos, who showed composure and immense professionalism despite the unacceptable behavior of the fan who harassed him.
