Chinese broadcaster pulls Real Madrid match from schedule

Chinese broadcaster Migu has pulled Real Madrid's La Liga match against Racing Santander from its schedule in response to Mbappé's comments about Mao Zedong.

Chinese streaming platform Migu, which has 400 million subscribers and holds La Liga broadcasting rights in China, has removed Real Madrid's upcoming match against Racing Santander from its weekend schedule. The decision follows Mbappé's recent statements about Mao Zedong and the Chinese government's subsequent ban on all commercial activities involving the player, including broadcasting matches in which he participates. The fixture, scheduled for Sunday at El Sardinero, will not be shown in China, resulting in significant financial losses for both La Liga and Real Madrid.
