Emmanuel Macron: 'Another goal from Mbappé. This time – against racism'

French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly backed Kylian Mbappé after Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla directed racist remarks at the France forward. Macron didn't let the incident slide. In a social media post, he highlighted that Mbappé has faced similar attacks before and wrote: 'Another goal from Kylian Mbappé. This time – against racism.' Celeste Amarilla, a senator in Paraguay's National Congress, had made offensive comments that quickly spread online. The French head of state responded firmly, underscoring that Mbappé stands for more than just football — he embodies the fight against discrimination both on and off the pitch. Mbappé, who continues to deliver dazzling performances this season, received a strong wave of support not only from fans but also from the highest political office in France.
