Mbappé condemns Paraguayan senator's racist remarks after France World Cup win
The segment reports on France forward Kylian Mbappé publicly condemning Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla for racist social-media posts after France defeated Paraguay 1-0 in a 2026 World Cup round-of-16 match. Mbappé called Amarilla a “despicable woman” unworthy of her congressional seat after she mocked his origins, upbringing, education and appearance following his winning penalty. The Paraguayan government issued a statement rejecting the remarks as contrary to national values of coexistence and dignity, clarifying that they do not represent the government or people. France advanced to face Morocco in the quarterfinals.
