La Liga boss criticises Mbappe, Vinicius, Konate over Ceuta solidarity shirts incident

La Liga president Javier Tebas has criticised three Real Madrid players for not properly wearing a solidarity shirt before a match. Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, and Ibrahima Konate walked out for the game against Elche with their shirts folded, obscuring a message of support for the people of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave experiencing a migration crisis.

According to Tebas, such gestures are institutional initiatives rather than personal choices. He expressed his disapproval at a conference in Huesca, stating that it is "very bad" and that participation in this type of initiative is a club act, not a personal one.

Tebas' comments suggest that he expects all players to support such initiatives, which are promoted by clubs and not subject to individual opinion. The incident occurred during Real Madrid's 3-2 win against Elche at the Martinez Valero.
