Fans expressed strong reactions after Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe and Ibrahima Konate failed to fully display a pre-match shirt supporting Ceuta during Real Madrid's match against Elche. The players wore the shirts rolled up around their chests, hiding the "Todos somos caballas" message. Vinicius and Mbappe removed their shirts before the handshake.
The gesture was part of a LaLiga initiative featuring players from both teams wearing the shirts in support of Ceuta. Real Madrid accepted the proposal, respecting individual player sensitivities. Social media was flooded with fans' anger, with some demanding the players be booed off the pitch and even suggesting disciplinary action.
The criticism extended to the club's leadership, with one fan calling for a Spanish captain to step in and address the issue. Despite the controversy, Real Madrid won the match 3-2, putting them second in La Liga with 15 points from six games.
