  "summary": "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, which meant a message of support for the people of Ceuta was not visible.\n\nAccording to Tebas, such gestures are institutional initiatives rather than personal choices. He expressed his disapproval at a conference, stating that it is \"very bad\" and that participation in this type of initiative is a club act, not a personal one.\n\nTebas' comments were reported by Yahoo Sports, which also mentioned that Real Madrid secured a 3-2 win against Elche. The incident occurred amid an ongoing migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.",
