After Valencia's defeat to Elche in the 31st round, Valencia player Lucas Beltran gave an interview and shared his post-match thoughts.

After the match, Lucas Beltran said: "We are very sad, and the current situation is really not ideal. The team had many opportunities to win the game, but unfortunately we failed to take advantage of them. Personally, it is particularly frustrating because the whole team put in a lot of effort, and the fans have always supported us, but we failed to give back to them. It is very disappointing, but we must face reality and move forward."

“Our form was not ideal, and we failed to capitalize on our opportunities, for which we paid a heavy price. Although three points should have been in our favor, and we deserved the victory based on our performance, the result of the game depends on the goals scored, not on whether we ‘deserved’ or not.”

"No matter where we play, the fans are always with us, and it is truly regrettable and frustrating that we cannot repay their support with results. We must not give up now. More than ever, we need to be strong, face reality, lift our heads, admit our mistakes and take responsibility, and then move forward. This team has shown great resilience and determination in difficult situations, and we must demonstrate that on the field."
