“He called me a fucking nigga and I want him to be punished”he cried out Diakhaby days after the controversy. “I’m not a racist, I never told him fucking nigga”, assured resounding Creek after a few days in which even politicians got directly into the issue.
The game had moments of great tension. Valencia withdrew from the field. In the locker room, minutes later, he decided to return because according to the same club, there was a call that warned them that the game would be lost and points would be deducted. Grace change to Diakhaby, who was seen desolate in the stands. And the controversy spread like wildfire.
Cala and Diakhaby will be face to face at the Nuevo Mirandilla after 180 days. Neither of us will have been able to forget those days. Neither the Cádiz player nor the Valencia player. That was tremendous. From both clubs they turned to their players. Valencia called for an end to racism while Cádiz assured that its player was innocent.
After several detailed studies of the images, the competent bodies determined that there was no evidence that Cala had racially insulted Diakahaby. LaLiga determined it a few days later. The Federation continued the study and on June 17 it closed the case as it could not prove the alleged insult.
After spending the summer and considerable time, Diakhaby returns to Cádiz and the Andalusian team is still Juan Cala. An indecipherable encounter, as none of those involved have said anything since the case was closed.
