Kylian Mbappé, a French football star for Real Madrid, apologized for his controversial remarks about China, which sparked a boycott by Chinese brands and a ban on related matches by CCTV. The Spanish La Liga and its president Javier Tebas swiftly issued a statement, expressing sorrow for any offense caused and clarifying that the player's comments are not reflective of the league's or its over 20 clubs' stances. La Liga also announced measures to work with Chinese partners and enhance cultural understanding to prevent such incidents in the future. The football league faced a major crisis as multiple Chinese brands terminated their collaborations with Mbappé, and CCTV comprehensively halted the broadcast of relevant games. In response, La Liga issued an urgent statement apologizing on behalf of all member clubs, reaffirming their respect for Chinese culture and the millions of Chinese fans who support Spanish football. Chairman Javier Tebas, further emphasizing the league's commitment, posted a separate apology on his social media platform, X, stressing that nobody can tarnish the relationship with China that La Liga has built over years, involving respect, trust, and collaboration with various Chinese entities. He pledged to take all necessary measures to directly address the current situation and safeguard the interests of the 20-plus clubs and Chinese football fans.
