Real Madrid Players Inadvertently Block Ceuta Support Message Before Elche Match
Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Ibrahima Konate stood in front of a banner meant to convey Real Madrid's support for Ceuta ahead of a La Liga fixture, according to BBC Sport.
Real Madrid displayed a message of support for Ceuta ahead of the club's La Liga match against Elche, according to a report from BBC Sport.
The report said that during the pre-match presentation, three Real Madrid players — Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Ibrahima Konate — ended up standing in front of the message, obscuring it from view.
BBC Sport did not specify the reason behind the club's gesture of support for Ceuta, the Spanish autonomous city located on the North African coast.
The incident occurred as Real Madrid prepared to take on Elche in a league fixture, the report added.
BBC Sport has been approached for further details on the context of the message and the club's intentions behind displaying it.
