Kylian Mbappe slams Paraguayan senator for racist remarks

French footballer Kylian Mbappe has fiercely responded to racist remarks made by Paraguayan senator and lawyer Celeste Amarilla. Mbappe took to social media to condemn Amarilla's comments, calling her "unworthy, despicable, and worthless."

"You do not represent Paraguay," Mbappe stated in his message. "Paraguay was a country that fought with passion and honor throughout the tournament. Because of your ignorance and the racism you openly display, the world has already forgotten the historic struggle and effort of your players in this World Cup; it has been replaced by an incompetent woman who gives her country the worst possible image. I will never allow people like you to spread their hatred and racism to the world."

You, you are an unworthy, despicable, and worthless woman. You do not represent Paraguay. Paraguay was a country that fought with passion and honor throughout the tournament. Because of your ignorance and the racism you openly display, the world has already forgotten the historic struggle and effort of your players in this World Cup; it has been replaced by an incompetent woman who gives her country the worst possible image. I will never allow people like you to spread their hatred and racism to the world.

Amarilla's alleged remarks about Mbappe included calling him a "colonized Cameroonian, who shamelessly acts French, full of hatred, newly rich, arrogant, and ugly." She also claimed he was "angry and dying of fear" during the match, and that his team "barely won." She further suggested that "most of our criticism of the Albirroja players is that they didn't slap him with an open hand after the match." Amarilla also made disparaging comments about his intelligence, comparing him to chimpanzees.

France defeated Paraguay 1-0 in the round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Mbappe scoring the winning penalty. France advanced to face Morocco in the quarterfinals.
