Football World Cup: Senator from Paraguay insults Mbappé racistly

During the game, which title favorites France won 1-0 against Germany’s conquerors on Saturday, Mbappé was repeatedly attacked hard, but also dealt. Out of frustration, the 27-year-old refused to shake Paraguay keeper Orlando Gill’s hand at the end of the game and celebrated with a provocative gesture. Gill then threw the ball at Mbappé’s back.

A little later, the politician followed up with another tirade on Instagram. Mbappé is a “colonized Cameroonian” who plays the tough Frenchman, “full of inferiority complexes, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly.” He was nervous the whole game and was scared to death, just like his entire team. “They didn’t even score a goal and only won with a lot of luck,” wrote Celeste Amarilla de Boccia. “The only thing many of us blame Albirroja for is that she didn’t give him a resounding slap in the face after the final whistle.”

Reaction from France

Mbappé responded to the politician’s insults with clear words. “You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position,” the selection captain wrote on X. She does not represent Paraguay, which was “imbued with passion and honor” throughout the World Cup. “Through your ignorance and shameless racism, the world has already forgotten the historic path and commitment of your players during this World Cup to make way for an incompetent lady who is giving the worst possible image of her country,” the star striker continued. He will “never give people like Celeste Amarilla de Boccia the freedom to spread their hatred and racism in the world.”

France’s Sports Minister Marina Ferrari also reacted indignantly to the senator’s verbal derailments. “These statements are disgusting, unworthy and all the more unacceptable as they come from a political leader,” Ferrari wrote on
