Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr drew attention during Real Madrid's LaLiga clash with Elche after rolling up their pre‑game shirts to obscure a message of solidarity with Ceuta. A viral video showed the two forwards hitching their tees midway up their torsos, cutting off the slogan 'Todos somos caballas'—translated as 'We are all Caballas', a reference to residents of the Spanish exclave.
The gesture sparked debate online, with fans questioning why the players concealed the wording. Neither Mbappé nor Vinícius Jr has explained their actions, and Real Madrid has not commented beyond its official statement on the initiative.
