Kylian Mbappe (28, Real Madrid), captain of the French national football team, publicly condemned a Paraguayan politician who hurled the worst racial slurs at him. The French government and football association also announced they would take a tough stance in response.

According to AP News on the 7th (Korean time), Celeste Amarilla, a Paraguayan senator, repeatedly posted derogatory messages about Mbappe on social media (SNS) immediately after France defeated Paraguay 1-0 in the Round of 16 match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup held in Philadelphia, USA, on the 5th.

Amarilla mocked Mbappe, who is of Cameroonian descent, calling him a "Cameroonian from a colony desperately trying to pass as French" and a "barbarian who hasn't even learned how to write." She even went so far as to say in crude language that Paraguayan players should have slapped Mbappe's cheek after the match ended.

Mbappe immediately criticized Senator Amarilla directly through his own SNS. He revealed her face, referring to her as a "despicable and incompetent woman unfit for her position," and pointed out that "thanks to your reckless and shameless racial discrimination, the world has forgotten the historic efforts shown by Paraguayan players in this World Cup." He further emphasized that he would never tolerate acts of spreading hatred and racism.

French authorities immediately launched judicial procedures. Marina Ferrari, France's Minister of Sports, expressed anger, stating, "The attack on our team captain is an attack on the freedom, equality, and fraternity that France upholds." The French Football Federation also declared its intention to report the remarks as a crime to the Prosecution Service.

The Paraguayan government also drew a line, stating that "Senator Amarilla's remarks violate the value of respecting human dignity and do not represent the nation or its people."

Meanwhile, Paraguay has been embroiled in controversy over repeated unsportsmanlike conduct both before and during this Round of 16 match. Previously, former Paraguayan national team player Jose Luis Chilavert referred to France as an "African team." During the match, Paraguayan players engaged in rough play, such as digging up nearby grass before Mbappe took a penalty kick.

Currently, mocking comments from Paraguayan football fans are flooding Mbappe's SNS, leading to secondary victimization.
