In Spain, before a La Liga match on Tuesday, Real Madrid players Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Ibrahima Konaté wore pre-match shirts supporting Ceuta but rolled them up, obscuring the message. The shirts, worn by both teams, were part of a campaign to show support for Ceuta after a migration crisis. The players removed the shirts before kickoff and did not comment. The gesture sparked debate in Spain about migration and politics. Real Madrid won the match 3-2.
