Real Madrid President Says Ceuta Visit Unrelated to ‘Recent News’
Club officials traveled to the Spanish enclave as players displayed support for the city, but the president denied any link to recent reports.
Real Madrid’s president addressed questions about a recent visit by club officials to Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in North Africa, saying the trip was not connected to “recent news” involving the club, according to Al Jazeera.
The visit came after several Real Madrid players, including forward Kylian Mbappe, were seen rolling up their sleeves to reveal T-shirts expressing support for Ceuta during a recent match, Al Jazeera reported.
The gesture by the players drew attention from media outlets, prompting questions about whether the club’s subsequent visit to the enclave was tied to broader developments referenced in recent reporting.
The Real Madrid president denied any connection between the visit and the news in question, without elaborating further on the reasoning behind the trip or the players’ display of support, according to the report.
Al Jazeera did not specify further details about the nature of the “recent news” referenced by the president or the exact purpose of the club’s visit to Ceuta.
