Senator Amarilla's comments on X described Mbappe as a "colonised Cameroonian" and a "brute" who had not learned to write, also suggesting that Paraguayan players should have physically assaulted him. Mbappe swiftly responded, defending himself and the Paraguayan players, stating he would not allow such hatred and racism to be spread. The French Football Federation announced its intention to file a criminal complaint against Senator Amarilla, condemning her remarks as "utterly abhorrent and unacceptable" and "criminal and reprehensible." The Paraguayan government officially deplored and rejected Amarilla's statements, clarifying that her comments do not represent the country's values or its people, with the Paraguayan President also expressing support to French President Emmanuel Macron.
