Real Madrid Fan Group Demands Mbappe Apology Over Ceuta Shirt Snub

A Real Madrid fan group has demanded an apology from forward Kylian Mbappe over the way he and two teammates presented a tribute shirt ahead of the club's recent La Liga match, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

The report said Mbappe, along with Vinicius Jr and Ibrahima Konate, wore the tribute shirt partially rolled up before Real Madrid's 3-2 win over Elche.

According to Al Jazeera, the shirt was intended as a tribute connected to Ceuta, though the outlet's report did not provide further detail on the specific occasion or message the shirt commemorated.

The fan group criticized the players for not fully displaying the shirt, with Al Jazeera reporting that it is seeking an apology from Mbappe specifically over the manner in which the gesture was carried out.

Real Madrid has not issued a public statement addressing the fan group's demand, based on the available reporting. Al Jazeera's report did not include comment from Mbappe, Vinicius Jr or Konate on the matter.

The match itself saw Real Madrid secure a 3-2 victory over Elche, though the report did not specify further details of the game.
