​MADRID (AP) — Valencia fans protested Sunday against club officials and players after a demoralizing 5-0 home loss to Barcelona in the Spanish league.A few thousand fans gathered outside the Mestalla stadium and called players “mercenaries.” They also called for the club president, Kiat Lim, and team owner Peter Lim to “go home.”Some of the ultra fan groups left the stands empty at the start of the match. Players and coach Carlos Corberán were booed early on, and there were loud jeers at the final whistle as well.Kiat Lim took over as president in 2025, but was attending a match at Mestalla for the first time, according to Spanish media.It was Valencia’s third straight defeat after opening the season with a draw. The team has scored only once in four matches.There were no reports of violence during the protests.___See AP’s full soccer coverage here
