Mao zedong

Kylian Mbappe:  Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has apologised to Chinese fans over his comments about a meme featuring former Chinese leader Mao Zedong, following an apology from Spanish football league La Liga, with three Chinese companies reportedly ending their commercial partnerships with the French captain amid the backlash.

La Liga had earlier expressed regret over the offence caused by Mbappe’s remarks, distancing itself from his comments and announcing plans to introduce measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
