According to Sport, Real Madrid player Dean Huijsen has made his stance clear in an interview with Ok Diario regarding teammates Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. who chose not to wear Ceuta support shirts. He stated that he is Spanish and supporting Ceuta is not a political issue for him. He also expressed confusion about why VAR did not intervene in Lee Kang-in's foul on Valverde, saying that VAR exists to correct errors.

Huijsen has expressed a different view from his teammates Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. regarding their decision not to wear Ceuta support shirts before Real Madrid's final match. The defender, who is training with the Spanish national team, explained the situation in the dressing room at the time and clarified his stance in an interview with Ok Diario: "I am Spanish and I know what that means. For me, this is not a political issue, but support for the people of Ceuta who are going through difficulties."

However, Huijsen understands that foreign teammates may have a different interpretation. He said: "Perhaps people who are not from here may not fully understand the situation and may think this is a political issue. In the end, everyone does what they think is right." When asked directly about those who chose not to wear the shirt, the defender avoided criticizing their decision: "I think everyone does what they want. We wore it, others didn't."

The Spanish player also compared what happened at Real Madrid with the situation at Barcelona. He added: "Later I watched Barcelona's match and I don't think everyone wore it either, but it didn't cause such a big controversy. Maybe it's because I play for Real Madrid that stories about Real Madrid get amplified, but it certainly seems like a much bigger controversy."

"Then what do we need VAR for?"

Huijsen also reflected on the recent derby match in the interview, in which he received a red card for a foul on Giuliano Simeone that led to a penalty. The defender took responsibility: "I think the rule states that if there is a pull, it's a red card. According to the rules, it has to be a red card." But he believes the action should have given the referee "more room for interpretation. It's clearly my responsibility and we should have won that match," he acknowledged.

He took a harder line regarding Real Madrid's complaint after the match, particularly about the foul by Lee Kang-in on Valverde. "To be honest, I don't understand. I don't know why there was no intervention. It could be a mistake by the referee, human error, but if that's the case, then what do we need VAR for?" he questioned.

The defender also revealed his support for Mourinho's protest, in which the manager posted video of the controversial decision after the derby. "I think he's right. I have to say that if the situation were reversed, it would definitely cause chaos," Huijsen said. He stressed that Real Madrid deserves to believe that recent refereeing decisions are not merely coincidental: "VAR exists to correct these errors."
