Spanish club Valencia has condemned the attack by a group of fans who punched and kicked the bus carrying its players after the team's latest loss in the Spanish league.

"There is no justification for the violent attack by a group of [fans],'' the club said.
"Insults and threats to players and staff, attacks with kicks and punches to vehicles and a generally violent attitude are unacceptable.

Valencia said the team's bus was attacked when it returned to the club's training centre in Valencia. Police intervened and nobody was injured.
The players and team members had to wait for a police escort to leave the training centre as fans waited outside.
Valencia said the fans belong to a radical group that does not represent the team's entire fan base. The club said it reported the incident to local police.
Spanish league officials said Monday that the league will work with authorities to identify those responsible for the attack.
