French President Emmanuel Macron has strongly backed national team captain Kylian Mbappé after a Paraguayan senator targeted the forward with severe racist abuse following France’s World Cup victory.

French President Emmanuel Macron has formally expressed his solidarity with national team captain Kylian Mbappé following a barrage of racist abuse directed at the forward.

The slurs emerged after France secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup round of 16. Macron emphasized his unwavering support for both the Real Madrid superstar and the entire French squad during this difficult period.

The diplomatic fallout intensified as the Paraguayan government completely distanced itself from the offensive remarks, which were posted online by an opposition senator.

In an official correspondence sent directly to President Macron, the Paraguayan president and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the rhetoric. They reaffirmed their commitment to human dignity, stating the politician’s views do not represent their nation.
