The event which took place yesterday on the lawn of Cadiz is much more striking than the defeat of Atlético Madrid in the title race in the Spanish press on Monday morning.
So much so that Marca made his front page: "You are not alone" reveals the Madrid newspaper in support of Mouctar Diakhaby, the French defender of FC Valence victim of racist insults according to him.
The media of Valencia, Super Deporte unveils with the phrase "Stop racism" in its edition of the day.
Nuestro TOTAL APOYO a @ Diakhaby_5
El jugador, que ha recibido un insulto racista, ha pedido a sus compañeros que vuelvan al campo a luchar.
TODOS CONTIGO, MOUCTAR # JuntsAnemAMUNT # AllToPlayForpic.twitter.com / GQzpuO4I2w

The facts take place in the 29th minute of a La Liga midfield match between Cadiz and Valencia (2-1) this Sunday.
Mouctar Diakhaby warns the referee of the comments made by Cadiz defender Juan Torres Ruis (aka Cala).
"Fucking nigger" according to him before his team leaves the field, at his request to denounce this phenomenon.
The match will resume 15 minutes later, when the two formations returned to the pitch with the agreement of the French defender, but without him since he will be replaced, not wishing to continue after the incident.
No concrete evidence
Difficult to really know the facts knowing that the two individuals camped on their position, on the one hand accusing of racist remarks, on the other denying the facts.
“We have no doubts about the honesty of all the members of our squad, who are fervent defenders of the fight against racism,” said Cadiz, supporting his player.
On the other hand, Valencia reacted by asking that the facts be examined in this intolerable situation.
Conozco bien a Diakhaby ... no habría abandonado el partido sin una razón ...
El racismo no debe estar en el fútbol y en ningún otro lugar ... pronto sabremos las razones ..
Hasta que sepamos más: fuerza para ti hermano # cadizvalencia # amuntValencia

According to the referee's report published after the match, "this fact was not perceived by any member of the refereeing body".
A misunderstanding in view of all the cameras located at the edge of the field which did not clearly identify the words made.
If the images do not highlight what has been said, Mouctar Diakhaby can count on the support of the Spanish press or his teammate Eliaquim Mangala, injured during this match.
