Mbappé-Paraguay Senator Feud Escalates

Football star Kylian Mbappé has condemned Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla for making racist remarks after France's World Cup victory over Paraguay.

Following France's victory over Paraguay in the World Cup round of 16, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla made offensive comments about Mbappé, calling him a 'camerunés colonizado, que se hace pasar por francés, resentido, nuevo rico, arrogante y feo, un idiota que ni siquiera aprendió a escribir' (colonized Cameroonian who passes himself off as French, resentful, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly, an idiot who didn't even learn to write).

Mbappé responded by calling the senator 'incompetent, unworthy; blatant racism.' The United Nations has reportedly intervened in the escalating controversy between the football star and the Paraguayan politician. newsbetting.bond
