Mbappe, Vinicius and Konate Court Controversy with Ceuta Solidarity Shirts The recent solidarity shirts worn by Real Madrid players Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Ibrahima Konate have sparked a heated debate about the role of footballers in politics.
The shirts, which featured the slogan "Todos somos caballas" (We are all mackerels), were meant to show support for the people of Ceuta, an autonomous Spanish city on the northern coast of Africa.
Ceuta has become a hotbed of tension between Spain and Morocco over migrant crossings. Last July 30 and 31, an influx of migrants into Ceuta highlighted the humanitarian crisis unfolding along Europe's southern border.
