Kylian Mbappé on Monday labelled a Paraguayan senator "despicable" and "not worthy of her position" after she racially abused the France captain on social media following the World Cup last-16 clash between the countries at the weekend. Mbappé's reaction came after Celeste Amarilla attacked the Real Madrid superstar in the wake of Saturday's game in Philadelphia, a bad-tempered affair which France won 1-0. "Mrs Celeste Amarilla, you are a despicable woman and not worthy of your position," Mbappé wrote on X. "You do not represent Paraguay, the country that has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition. "Through your lack of awareness and your uninhibited racism, the entire world has already forgotten your team's run and historic effort at this World Cup," he added. Amarilla racially abused Mbappé and, in another post, called him a "colonised Cameroonian who has really pretended to be French, embittered, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly", and accused him of being "scared to death" during the game.
