According to Marca, ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League match against Inter this Tuesday, some fan groups not directly affiliated with Real Madrid are organizing on social media, urging supporters to bring Ceuta flags to the Santiago Bernabéu to show solidarity with the city.

The situation in Ceuta has recently drawn attention in Spain. Some Real Madrid fan groups are frustrated that the club has not yet publicly expressed its support for Ceuta. Social media has become an important platform for these fan groups to organize and mobilize.

Several influential figures within the Real Madrid fan community are also promoting related actions, hoping to amplify their message through Real Madrid's Champions League match against Inter. Given Real Madrid's immense influence and the platform of the Champions League, this match is seen as a crucial opportunity to make their position visible.

To date, Real Madrid has not publicly stated whether fans will be allowed to bring Ceuta flags to the Bernabéu, nor has it confirmed whether any official solidarity activities will be organized before the match.

Marca also noted that some media outlets previously, without providing evidence, linked Real Madrid's silence to Anas Laghrari, a Moroccan businessman close to Florentino Pérez, claiming the latter asked the club to stay out of the issue. However, the report itself emphasizes that this claim is "hardly convincing" and currently lacks supporting evidence.

Part of the backdrop to this incident is a large banner regarding Ceuta and Melilla that appeared during a CAF Champions League match involving Moroccan club Maghreb de Fès.

During the match between Maghreb de Fès and Burkina Faso-based side Rayon Sports, some home fans associated with the ultra group "Fatal Tigers" displayed a banner in Spanish reading: "Ceuta and Melilla: two cities, one homeland – Morocco."

The banner was displayed for several minutes from the start of the match, accompanied by chanting and numerous flags.

This incident occurred as Spain, Portugal, and Morocco jointly organize the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which requires close cooperation between the three football federations. Consequently, displays concerning Ceuta and Melilla have reignited discussions about how potential territorial disputes between the three countries could affect football cooperation.

Additionally, in La Liga, Espanyol player Marcos Fernández previously showed public support for Ceuta.

In Espanyol's 1-1 draw against Sevilla, Marcos scored his first La Liga goal in the 98th minute. After scoring, he lifted his shirt to reveal a message on his undershirt: "Ceuta is not for sale, Ceuta must be defended."

Marcos was on loan at Ceuta Football Club last season. After the match, he explained that he wanted to dedicate his first La Liga goal to Ceuta because they "welcomed me very well, as if I were one of them."

He also sent his support to the local population of Ceuta and expressed hope that the current situation "can be resolved as soon as possible."
