Spanish media condemns Madrid trio's interference in Ceuta project
The article focused on the controversy sparked by Real Madrid players during a match against Elche when they either misrepresented or concealed a message of solidarity with the city of Ceuta, which was launched by the Valencia Businessmen's Association to support the Spanish enclave in North Africa. Three Real Madrid players (Mbappé, Vinicius, and Kounati) raised their jerseys in a way that obscured the phrase "We Are from Ceuta," with their actions varying between completely removing the jersey or holding it in an unclear manner, sparking criticism from the Spanish press. The club's management responded to the incident by stating that it left the decision to participate up to the players, given the differing political sensitivities within the team. The incident elicited angry reactions from the media, as well as an attack on Moroccan player Ziyech, who wore the jersey and explained he did so to support the residents without any political goals. The article points to ongoing tensions in Ceuta and the humanitarian crisis it faces, with a flow of migrants and popular protests.
