**Official Statement from SD Huesca**
“SD Huesca wishes to publicly express its full support for our player, Jorge Pulido, following the events that took place last Sunday in the match against Real Zaragoza.
The club regrets and rejects the messages posted on social media in recent hours, which have contributed to generating a climate of hatred toward our player, far removed from the values that should prevail in any area of society. We also consider it unacceptable to attempt to justify or divert attention from an aggression that has no place in sports or the values that sustain it. At no time did Jorge Pulido carry out any action that would justify a violent response of such magnitude.
From SD Huesca, we also want to unequivocally defend the honorability, commitment, and professionalism that Jorge has demonstrated throughout his time with this entity. His behavior has been exemplary both on and off the pitch, always acting with responsibility and respect toward teammates, opponents, referees, and fans.
SD Huesca cannot and must not remain silent in the face of any attempt to question the career and conduct of one of its players, who is also an indispensable part of our recent history. We will always defend those who represent our values with integrity and demand that the respect he deserves as a professional and as a person be preserved.
