France star Kylian Mbappe has strongly condemned Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla after she made racist comments on social media following Paraguay's FIFA World Cup Round of 16 defeat to France. Calling her "despicable" and "unworthy" of public office, Mbappe said her remarks tarnished Paraguay's image and promoted hatred. The French Football Federation (FFF) announced it will file a criminal complaint, describing the comments as "utterly abhorrent and unacceptable." The controversy comes after former Paraguay goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert also faced criticism for racist remarks about the French team before the match. (PC: BBC)
