Paraguayan Senator escalates feud with Kylian Mbappé in new interview

Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla has intensified her public dispute with France captain Kylian Mbappé, accusing him of extreme arrogance and refusing to shake hands with goalkeeper Orlando Gill after their World Cup match.

Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla has launched a fresh wave of criticism against French striker Kylian Mbappé following a highly tense World Cup Round of 16 encounter.

The politician accused the forward of showcasing severe arrogance on the pitch, alleging he actively denied a post-match handshake from Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill before aggressively celebrating directly in the shot-blocker’s face.

The escalating rhetoric follows a bitter war of words that erupted after France’s penalty-shootout victory over Paraguay in Philadelphia.

While Amarilla previously faced heavy international backlash and condemnation from her own government for deleting a racially charged tirade against the player, she maintains that Mbappé’s confrontational behavior remains entirely unacceptable for a sports captain.
