Athletic Club will hold a special pre-match ceremony to show solidarity with Palestine before their La Liga game against Mallorca. The club's San Mames stadium will display a 'Stop the genocide' message, while special guests including ex-Palestine captain Honey Thaljieh will be honoured on the pitch as part of a wider club initiative.
Mallorca turned heads last season as the resourceful club finished 10th in La Liga after contending for European places.

Kylian Mbappe was denied two goals in Real Madrid's tightly-contested 2-0 win over Mallorca after the Frenchman was adjudged to have been offside by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in both instances. The France captain has now shared the controversial confirmation image that saw his first goal chalked off, which showed Mbappe's shoulder and sleeve just barely offside.

The England international, who arrived on loan from Manchester United earlier this summer, had been waiting anxiously as paperwork and financial adjustments dragged on. However, the authorities have now cleared him to participate in an official match.
