Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is facing criticism from Spanish and French conservative and far-right politicians after he was seen rolling up a t-shirt that referenced Ceuta, Spain's North African territory bordering Morocco, according to France 24.

Ceuta has been at the center of a migration crisis in recent years, with the enclave serving as a transit point for migrants attempting to reach European territory.

Mbappé said he wore the t-shirt rolled up to express solidarity with "all the immigrants who have lost their lives," France 24 reported.

The gesture prompted backlash from politicians on the right in both Spain and France, according to the report, though specific statements from named critics were not detailed in the available account.

France 24 did not specify further details regarding the exact wording of the t-shirt or the context in which Mbappé wore it, nor did it report any official response from Real Madrid or from Mbappé beyond his stated explanation.
