  "summary": "Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, both players for Real Madrid, have faced criticism for partially hiding a solidarity message on their shirts before a match against Elche. The message, which read \"We are all Ceutans,\" was in support of the people of Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast.\n\nAccording to MyJoyOnline Ghana, Mbappe, Vinicius, and Ibrahima Konate rolled up their pre-game T-shirts to obscure the message. The rest of the players, including their teammates and the Elche players, wore the shirts fully during the pre-match formalities.\n\nLa Liga president Javier Tebas criticised the trio's actions, stating that not wearing the shirt properly was \"bad, very bad.\" Tebas confirmed that the initiative was approved by La Liga and was not a political act.",
