Ultras Sur, a Real Madrid supporters’ group, has called for Kylian Mbappe and two teammates to publicly apologize for not fully wearing a T-shirt supporting the people of Ceuta before a La Liga match. The trio partially rolled up the tribute shirt, which bore the message “we are all Ceutans,” in reference to recent migration issues affecting the Spanish territory. This move has sparked criticism from Ultras Sur and La Liga President Javier Tebas, who view the players’ actions as disrespectful to Spaniards and Ceuta residents alike.

Story summary
Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Ibrahima Konate from Real Madrid partially rolled up white solidarity shirts, obscuring part of the message "We are all Ceutans," before a La Liga match against Elche on Tuesday. The move sparked controversy as it was seen by some fans and media figures as disrespectful to Spanish supporters who view Ceuta as an important territory. Ultras Sur, a Real Madrid fan group, demanded public apologies from the three players, calling their behavior "unacceptable." La Liga President Javier Tebas also criticized the players for not properly wearing the shirts, stating that partially covering them is the same as not wearing them at all. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between Spain and Morocco over Ceuta, a Spanish territory near Morocco with recent migrant influxes causing political friction.
