France striker Kylian Mbappe has hit back at a Paraguayan senator, describing her as a "despicable woman" after she launched a racist attack on him following Paraguay's elimination from the World Cup.⁣
⁣
Mbappe's penalty proved the difference in a bruising and ill-tempered match as France won 1-0 in Philadelphia on Saturday to advance to the quarter-finals.⁣
⁣
Celeste Amarilla wrote a long, racist tirade on X, describing Mbappe as a "colonised Cameroonian, desperately trying to pass himself off as French," and as a "brute" who had not learned to write.⁣
⁣
Mbappe, the France captain, responded with a strongly worded statement defending not only himself but also the Paraguay players.⁣
⁣
The French Football Federation (FFF) escalated the matter, announcing plans to file a criminal complaint, describing her remarks as "utterly abhorrent and unacceptable".⁣
⁣
French President Emmanuel Macron and FIFA chief Giannai Infantino joined the condemnation of Amarillo. ⁣
