The French national team has received new support after racist comments were made against Kylian Mbappé by Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla. French President Emmanuel Macron spoke out to condemn these attacks on the captain of the French team.

What happened?

Emmanuel Macron posted a message on social media to support the French striker. He wrote: « Un but de plus pour Kylian Mbappé. Contre le racisme cette fois. Tout mon soutien. Quand les mots salissent, nos valeurs répondent : dignité, respect, fraternité ».

Why does it matter for France?

This support is important for the French team, who won their last match against Paraguay with a score of 1-0 on July 4, 2026. France is currently on a 5-game winning streak.

What's next?

The French team will face Morocco on July 9, 2026, at home. And with this upcoming match, the French team must remain focused and continue to play with the same determination that has led them to these 5 consecutive wins.
