A Real Madrid supporters' group, Ultras Sur, has demanded a public apology from Kylian Mbappe and two teammates after they declined to fully wear a t-shirt in support of the people of Ceuta. Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Ibrahima Konate wore the tribute shirt partially rolled up ahead of Madrid's 3-2 win at Elche on Tuesday in La Liga. The group described the players' conduct as unacceptable and called for public apologies, also criticising the silence of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. La Liga president Javier Tebas also criticised the three players for not properly wearing the t-shirt, saying putting it half on is the same as not wearing it.
