China is following through on its threat. According to RMC Sport, the country's public broadcaster left out the first two LaLiga matches of the weekend, having announced earlier in the week that it was suspending the Spanish league.
The cause is Kylian Mbappé's remarks about Mao Zedong, a former leader of China. Foot Mercato says the affair keeps stirring reaction there.
On the pitch, the Real Madrid forward has 18 goals and 5 assists in 17 appearances this season. Real Madrid, 3rd in LaLiga with 24 points, visit Racing de Santander on 1 November at 15:15 Casablanca time.
