Kylian Mbappe has described Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla as “despicable” and “racist” after she called the France captain a “colonised Cameroonian” following the World Cup round-of-16 game between the two nations on Saturday.The French Football Federation has said it has reported Amarilla’s comments to the public prosecutor’s office “with a view to legal proceedings.” The Athletic has sought to clarify where such proceedings would take place.France beat Paraguay in a heated World Cup last-16 game on Saturday, with Mbappe scoring the only goal from the penalty spot. Amarilla, a 61-year-old lawyer who is a member of the Authentic Radical Liberal Party, took to multiple social media platforms to criticize the Real Madrid player.In a post on Instagram on Saturday night with two pictures of Mbappe attached, Amarilla called the 27-year-old a “colonised Cameroonian, desperately trying to pass himself off as French” as well as labelling him “resentful, arrogant and ugly.”“He was nervous and scared stiff for the whole match,” she continued. “Just like the rest of his team. They couldn’t score a single goal, and they won by the skin of their teeth.”“The only thing many of us hold against the Albirroja is that they didn’t give him a good open-handed slap after the match was over. And I’m not even a football fan.”She had previously criticized Mbappe on X earlier on Saturday evening, quoting a post of the forward celebrating in front of Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill: “That brute never even learnt to write. Instead of breast milk, he sucked on coconuts, and the most educated creatures he ever listened to were chimpanzees.
