👀 I didn't want to...: Mbappé breaks silence on Ceuta row | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé broke his silence in an exclusive interview with Diario AS to address the criticism that arose in the moments leading up to the clash against Elche.

The French star’s explanation

The French attacker, who along with Vinicius Júnior and Ibrahima Konaté did not properly wear the shirt bearing the solidarity message “We Are All Caballas,” justified his stance in front of the television cameras. “I didn’t want to prioritize some suffering over others,” Mbappé said when asked about the way he wore the protest shirt.

A stir that shook the pre-match formalities

The controversy gained momentum because the rest of the players from both squads displayed the message of support for the autonomous city without any issue. With these words, the Madrid star hopes to put an end to the off-field debate that arose around him.
