Summary
France star Kylian Mbappé on Monday condemned a Paraguayan senator over racist remarks she made following Paraguay’s loss to France in the round of 16 at the World Cup. Before Saturday's match, former Paraguay goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert referred to France as "a squad from Africa." Philippe Diallo, president of the FFF, said Chilavert "was once a great goalkeeper" who had now "fallen into disgrace.". The Paraguayan government released a statement Monday afternoon condemning Amarilla's remarks as "contrary to the values and principles that inspire peaceful coexistence and respect for human dignity that our country promotes." It added that the senator's comments do not represent either the Paraguayan government or the Paraguayan people.
Furthermore, "By targeting Kylian Mbappé, the senator is attacking everything our captain embodies and everything our country stands for: liberty, equality and fraternity," Ferrari wrote on X. France's assistant coach Guy Stéphan also condemned the remarks on Monday. "Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup," Mbappé wrote on X. Amarilla posted a series of racist comments on X after Mbappé converted the winning penalty in France's victory over Paraguay on Saturday, mocking the French captain's origins, upbringing, education and appearance. France advanced to the quarterfinals, where it will face Morocco on Thursday.
In addition, The Associated Press sent a request for comment to Amarilla on Monday through her social media accounts. Marina Ferrari, France's sports minister, said she was "outraged" by Amarilla's remarks and voiced her support for the national team's captain.
