As the hours and days go by, Cup final loss bleeds less, but hurts even more. The team and the fans are aware that the penalties were a lottery, but that they not only lost a title but a future that without Europe seems complicated once again. The players gave their all, the fans who also left their voices despite being outnumbered and therefore, the confessions of the footballers after the defeat have been directed largely towards their followers.
From the captain José Luís Gayàup to the last ones assigned without a purchase option such as Bryan Gil and Ilaix Moriba, going through the players of the subsidiary as Jesus Vazquez, all the footballers have sent their particular message to the fans. And no, it has not been something basic applicable to any team, they have been in most cases emotional words that came from the heart

Assimilating something like this is very difficult. It’s hard to know that we haven’t brought the cup to Valencia, but what is undeniable is that we feel very proud of what we did together. Team + fans we were one and we returned to dream of very beautiful things. Thanks to all the Valencianists at heart present around the world. We are very big.
Always up!

It will probably be the hardest night of my career so far and I don’t know where to start so I’ll start with what surprised me the most, the fans. Simply to say thank you for everything, for the support, for the farewell at the airport, for not stopping cheering on the field. I still remember the moment yesterday when I went out into the field and my hair stood on end. When I got here they told me that Valencia had good fans and it seems that this person fell short. Surely thanks to you we have also reached where we have arrived.
Once again the bitter face of football touched me, and it is neither the first nor the last time that it will happen to me, but I am sure that as I have done so far, I will get up again. And finally, talk about the pride of colleagues that I have. Not only for leaving everything, but for the day to day. The support I have had since I arrived has been incredible and they have made me enjoy this like a little child, in every training session, in every game. What I have no doubt is that what I experienced last night helped me to realize that Valencia has to be among the best in Spain and riding through Europe, and we will fight for it.

Proud of my teammates and THANK YOU FANS #we’ll be back
Ilaix Moriba.
I’ve seen that people have doubts about this team for next season and I don’t know why. This year they also doubted us and we were able to reach a Copa del Rey final.
Nobody says it will be easy but if we are together everything will be easier, we must not stop trusting this team or the coach. Valencia is a sentiment that I was able to discover during this short time that I was here, and yesterday we showed in Seville that, despite being fewer people and having all the statistics against us, they could not beat us as easily as people might think. We have to be proud of ourselves and for these remaining games and next year we will not stop believing in Valencia. Amunt Valencia!!
Jesus Vazquez.
Yesterday I had to live my first losing final in my first year in the elite, immense pain for the effort of the whole team to get here and especially for all of you who were there from the beginning to the end without stopping shouting and cheering . Proud to be able to belong to this great family and be from Valencia. In debt to you, WE WILL RETURN to the top!

I feel very proud to be from Valencia CF, but above all to have the best fans in the world. Like all of you, I have not been able to sleep because I have not managed, together with my colleagues, to give you the happiness that you deserve for your support, affection and deep love for this shield. ???? I hope that very soon we will be able to return everything you give us. I love you from the heart. Amunt Valencia

It may be one of the hardest days of my short career… It’s frustrating to work for a goal and not achieve it, but I couldn’t be more proud to belong to this group and defend this badge. Thanks to all those people who lived it with us in La Cartuja and to those who lived it from home. Once again this hobby never ceases to amaze me!
We will come back stronger.

Yesterday we suffered a hard blow, we insisted and tried until the end… I am proud of this team, which has shown courage and fights in every minute of the game. We have known how to defend this shield as it deserves. Very grateful to all the Valencian fans… Without your unconditional support, all this journey would not have been possible, you are the best. THANK YOU ALWAYS!
