According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid sees no issue with Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Ibrahima Konaté not wearing shirts in support of Ceuta before their match, with the club emphasizing that no player can be forced to display or wear a specific jersey.

Real Madrid secured a narrow victory over Elche yesterday evening thanks to a Carlos Espí goal in added time, but the pre-match scenes sparked considerable discussion. Before the match, players from both teams took the pitch wearing shirts in support of Ceuta. Broadcast footage clearly showed that Elche players had already put on their shirts before taking the field, while Real Madrid players received their shirts in the tunnel immediately before their entrance.

However, three Real Madrid players did not wear these shirts: Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Konaté received them from the kit manager. The first two put the shirts on but pulled them only up to their shoulders. As for Konaté, he simply held the shirt in his hand. The French and Brazilian players removed the shirts shortly before the subsequent handshake ceremony. The shirt bore the slogan "We are all Ceuta," intended to show solidarity with the autonomous city of Ceuta, which experienced a significant influx of Moroccan migrants in late July of last year.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid is entirely unmoved by this, as the club believes each player can decide individually whether to wear the shirt. Moreover, they contend that unlike other teams, the overwhelming majority of Real Madrid players did wear the shirt. Regarding the actions of these three players, Real Madrid insists that no one can be forced to wear a specific jersey and that their choice not to do so should not be criticized. The club has not attached any significance to the matter.
