China’s state broadcaster has withdrawn a Real Madrid match from its coverage after a joke involving forward Kylian Mbappé.
China Media Group, the country’s state broadcasting organisation, acknowledged that Mbappé had apologised in connection with the incident. However, it has not announced how long the decision to stop showing the match will remain in place.
The move affects the broadcaster’s coverage of Real Madrid and follows the reaction to Mbappé’s remarks. The available information does not specify the wording of the joke, when the apology was issued or which particular match was removed.
No further details have been given about the broadcaster’s plans for future Real Madrid coverage. The length of the blackout remains unclear.
