A Real Madrid fan group has issued a formal demand for an apology from star forward Kylian Mbappé regarding his conduct during a pre-match ceremony. Before Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory over Elche, Mbappé, Vinicius Jr, and Ibrahima Konate participated in a tribute event where they were expected to wear specific commemorative shirts.

The controversy stems from the players appearing to have their tribute shirts partially rolled up during the pre-match proceedings. The fan group argues that this action showed a lack of respect for the cause represented by the shirt, which was intended to honor the Spanish city of Ceuta. While the players have not yet issued a formal response to the demand, the incident has sparked debate among the club's supporters regarding the expectations of player participation in official club tributes.

Currently, there is no official statement from Real Madrid management or the players involved addressing why the shirts were modified. The fan group maintains that the gesture was dismissive, while some observers suggest it may have been an unintentional wardrobe adjustment rather than a deliberate snub. The situation remains a point of tension between a segment of the fanbase and the club's high-profile signings.
