Paraguayan Senator Insults Kylian Mbappé After France's World Cup Win
Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla insulted France national team forward Kylian Mbappé. She published the remarks on her social media page. A colonized Cameroonian stubbornly pretending to be French. Arrogant and made rich. Throughout the match he was nervous and terrified, just like his entire team. They couldn't score a single goal and won by pure chance, she wrote. The senator also said Paraguay's players should have slapped Mbappé after the Round of 16 match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, in which France secured a 1-0 victory.
