Real Madrid Players Partially Display Ceuta Solidarity Shirts Amid Mixed ReactionsPreviousNext

Before a LaLiga match between Real Madrid and Elche, players from both teams wore shirts reading "Todos somos caballas" to show solidarity with Ceuta residents amid a recent migration crisis. Real Madrid players Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Ibrahima Konate were seen obscuring or partially displaying the shirts, sparking online criticism. The club stated it respected individual players' choices regarding the shirts and highlighted its broader support for Ceuta, including fan displays at a recent Champions League match. The campaign's political implications have led to varied reactions across Spanish football.
