Celeste Amarilla, the Paraguayan senator who has been condemned for posting a series of racist statements on X after Mbappé converted the winning penalty in France’s victory over Paraguay on Saturday, had the opportunity to defend her actions in a senate session Wednesday.

El futbolista francés calificó a Amarilla de indigna de su cargo. La Federación Francesa de Fútbol anunció una denuncia ante la fiscalía por las declaraciones racistas.
