Derby Powder Keg! Mbappe's Refusal to Wear Solidarity Shirt Could Spark Atletico Fans' Booing Fury

According to Le Parisien, Mbappe, Konate, and Vinicius Jr. may face hostility from Atletico Madrid fans at the September 20 Madrid derby over their stance on Ceuta. The three players refused to wear "We are all Ceuta" T-shirts during Real Madrid's match against Elche on Tuesday and covered the slogans, sparking controversy. Mbappe explained that he did not want to rank levels of suffering, but this did not quell the storm. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez traveled to Ceuta on Friday to calm the situation. Atletico Madrid president Cerezo publicly voiced support for Ceuta, with players posing for photos on Wednesday with opponents under the message "Everyone is with Ceuta." Midfielder Llorente expressed support for Ceuta on Saturday, but emphasized freedom of speech. Atletico fans are planning to greet the Real Madrid players with boos, and the official related post has already garnered over 1.2 million views and 37,000 likes.
