Mbappe said on Wednesday that he did not \u200cwant to prioritise the suffering of one group over another. Real told the news agency Reuters that they respected their players\u2019 freedom to make their own decisions, but noted that they had shown support for Ceuta a week earlier with a tifo during their Champions League match with Inter Milan.<\/p>\n

Perez was accompanied by honorary \u2060Real Madrid President Jose Martinez Pirri, a native \u2060of Ceuta. They were welcomed by Regional President Juan Jesus Vivas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to emphasise, to avoid any doubts, that today\u2019s event has been prepared over several weeks \u2060with the president of Ceuta, not due to any recent news,\u201d Perez said at the city \u2060hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I also take this opportunity to \u2060convey all our support, all our affection, and our solidarity during these very difficult times to all Ceutans. It is our wish that normality resumes as soon \u200cas possible in Ceuta.\u201d<\/p>\n

In July, more than 70,000 irregular crossings into Ceuta from Morocco took place, causing disruption in the territory. Real \u200cMadrid\u2019s \u200cshow of solidarity is one of many gestures that have taken place across Spain since the mass crossings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
