- Over the weekend, defender Dean Huijsen reposted an image mocking Asian features on Instagram, then deleted it after backlash.
- Real Madrid published a Chinese-language apology attributed to Huijsen on the club’s official Weibo account.
- The statement said he shared the content unintentionally and apologized for causing offense.
- Many Chinese supporters criticized the apology’s limited reach and called for a video or statements on international platforms.
