The strong reaction from the Real Madrid locker room to criticism from the media and fans

Last night, Real Madrid suffered, but managed to win 3-2 at Elche. A success which allows José Mourinho’s players to move up to second place in the La Liga standings. However, the result of the match was not the news that made the headlines in the local media. Kylian Mbappé, Ibrahima Konaté and Vinicius Junior stood out by hiding the message “Todos somos Caballas» of the t-shirt in support of the city of Ceuta, which has been facing a serious migration crisis for several weeks, worn by the Madrid players before kick-off.

A choice that offended more than one Merengue supporter. But according to El ChiringuitoReal Madrid absolutely does not blame its players. Casa Blanca accepted the initiative proposed by Elche, but it let each of its players express themselves with their sensitivity. “Real Madrid respects the opinion and sensitivity of each of its employees. You can’t force anyone to do something they don’t think about or don’t believe in.”said journalist Marcos Benito. Case closed?
