Real Madrid apologise to China over Mbappe comments‎

Real Madrid apologised to China on Wednesday for Kylian Mbappe's comments poking fun at Mao Zedong, after the star striker's remarks sparked a social media storm and saw Spanish football yanked off state TV. Mocking former leader Mao -- blamed by historians for millions of deaths -- is taboo in China, and Mbappe's remarks saw him become the latest foreign sports figure to anger Beijing.Other major overseas sports leagues have previously angered China.
