Ceuta solidarity shirt row: How the crisis engulfed Spanish football

During a La Liga match, a banner was displayed at the Metropolitano Stadium to support Ceuta, in response to a controversy involving Real Madrid players who rolled up shirts carrying a solidarity message. In July, a record 72,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta, creating a humanitarian crisis and resulting in 141 documented deaths by the NGO Caminando Fronteras. Kylian Mbappe stated that his gesture did not reflect a lack of support for Ceuta but aimed to acknowledge the suffering of migrants.
