Tebas · Full chronicle and history

According to Reuters, following the controversy over Kylian Mbappé's Mao Zedong meme, La Liga has established a crisis team and contacted Real Madrid. President Javier Tebas is considering a trip to China in an attempt to prevent the incident from causing massive economic losses to Spanish football.

On October 27, LaLiga issued a statement saying it "deeply regrets" the offense caused by Mbappé's remarks among Chinese fans, that the words were spoken by him in a personal capacity and do not represent LaLiga; the league apologized on behalf of itself and all its clubs, and said it would establish codes of communication for players and clubs. elDiario said the statement was revised after being published at noon, with Tebas changing the apology's addressee to "Chinese fans."

On the afternoon of October 27, after Tebas sent a letter to CMG condemning Mbappé and apologizing, the head of China Media Group replied, saying "apologize first, or there is nothing to discuss," demanding that La Liga, Real Madrid, and especially Mbappé himself issue a public apology as soon as possible, calling this a "basic premise."

On the afternoon of October 27, Beijing time, La Liga chairman Tebas replied to the head of CCTV's headquarters, condemning Mbappé's behavior and apologizing, calling it "an unacceptable behavior that does not represent the values of our competition or Spanish football," and saying that appropriate measures are being taken to handle it.
