Mbappé Condemns Paraguayan Senator's Racism

France star Kylian Mbappé called a Paraguayan senator 'despicable' after she unleashed a racist tirade against him following France's World Cup win over Paraguay.

Senator Celeste Amarilla called Mbappé a 'colonised Cameroonian' in social media posts after his penalty knocked Paraguay out of the tournament.

French President Emmanuel Macron voiced strong support for Mbappé, while Paraguay's government went into damage control.

The French Football Federation vowed to file criminal charges.
