“Unfortunately, we cannot let the events that arose in the stadium go, no one deserves that bad treatment, not even the beatings, families, and scared children in the middle of a stadium where the only thing that should have happened is to see and enjoy a match within what it is, football folklore. I hope this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. We as players are always going to defend our people without a doubt.
