The final whistle at the Mestalla brought an end to an exciting yet frustrating 2-2 draw between Valencia and Mallorca.
While the match offered moments of brilliance and grit, it also left many Valencia fans with a lingering sense of disappointment.
A game they had expected to dominate ended in a stalemate, and the absence of Izan, the teenage sensation, became the primary focus of discussion.
The murmurs started even before kickoff when the team sheets were announced. Izan's name was conspicuously absent from the starting XI, left on the bench.
Social media immediately lit up with reactions. "How do you leave out your best player on the bench for such an important match?" one fan tweeted, tagging Rubén Baraja.
In the stadium, pockets of fans could be heard debating the decision as they waited for the game to begin.
