Konate reportedly held his shirt without showing the slogan completely.

Real Madrid had allowed players to make their own choices about wearing the shirts.
Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Ibrahima Konate faced online criticism over how they displayed Ceuta solidarity shirts.
The white shirts carried the slogan “Todos somos caballas,” meaning “We are all Caballas.”
