Real Madrid fan group demands Mbappe apology for Ceuta shirt snub
Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Ibrahima Konate wore a tribute shirt partially rolled up ahead of Madrid's 3-2 win at Elche.
A Real Madrid supporters’ group has demanded a public apology from Kylian Mbappe and two teammates after they declined to fully wear a T-shirt in support of the people of Ceuta.
Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Ibrahima Konate wore a tribute shirt partially rolled up ahead of Madrid’s 3-2 win at Elche on Tuesday in La Liga.
“We are certain that every Real Madrid supporter and every Spaniard is ashamed of the image given by these three individuals,” Ultras Sur said in a statement posted on X late on Wednesday, describing their conduct as “unacceptable”.
The rest of the team and Elche players wore the T-shirt properly. It brandished the words “we are all Ceutans”, intended to be a message of support for people in the Spanish territory in North Africa recently affected by a migration crisis.
