MIAMI – France striker Kylian Mbappe hit back at a Paraguayan senator, ​describing her as a “despicable woman” on Monday after she launched a racist attack on him following Paraguay’s elimination ‌from the World Cup. Mbappe’s penalty proved the difference in a bruising and ill-tempered match as France won 1-0 in Philadelphia on Saturday to advance to the quarter-finals. Celeste Amarilla wrote a long, racist tirade on X, describing Mbappe as a “colonised Cameroonian, desperately trying to pass himself off as French,” and as a “brute” who had not learned ​to write.
