Mbappé and Vinícius, Sanchistas and traitors to the fatherland

BarcelonaToday is a day when culers, and anti-Madridistas in general, can sit back and eat popcorn while the White House implodes. The refusal of Mbappé, Vinícius, and Konaté to wear a solidarity shirt for Ceuta before the match against Elche has caused an authentic pitched battle on social media and has fractured Madridismo into two irreconcilable sides. On one hand, there are those who consider that these three players are traitors to Spain and to the values of the club that pays them and that, therefore, they should be expelled from Real Madrid and, in any case, booed wherever they play. And then there are those who believe that politics and sports should not be mixed and downplay the issue. What is happening? Well, the former are those who identify most with the right-wing and nationalist positions of the PP and Vox, and accuse the latter (and also the players) of playing into Pedro Sánchez's hands.

One of those who received the most backlash was Manu Carreño, from Ser, who on the program El Larguero committed the sin of saying that the Ceuta issue was controversial and that "in a football club there is room for many sensitivities".

The list of insults he received on X is unrepeatable in this section. Manolo Lama on Cope joined the lynching and warned: "We will see how the Bernabéu responds, they are lucky they don't return until October".

It was also funny how some professional polemicists from the far-right sphere, like Juan Soto Ivars, took a beating for defending the footballers' attitude and, above all, comparing their gesture to not wanting to wear a yellow ribbon in support of political prisoners.

By the way, the entire initiative of the t-shirts is from a Valencian businessman named Vicente Boluda. And yes, it is the same one who already sank Real Madrid once. Do you remember?
