Celeste Amarilla, une sénatrice paraguayenne connue pour avoir tenu des propos racistes contre Kylian Mbappé après la Coupe du Monde 2022, a maintenu son critique envers le joueur français lors d'une conférence de presse le 7 juillet 2024. Elle a menacé Mbappé, affirmant qu'il devrait également s'excuser, et a rappelé que des joueurs paraguayens avaient été punis pour des comportements similaires. Mbappé avait répondu sur X en qualifiant Amarilla de 'femme méprisable', ce qui a entraîné une riposte de la sénatrice. Elle a refusé de présenter des excuses elle-même, affirmant qu'elle avait déjà retiré ses propos et qu'ils étaient racists. Amarilla a également critiqué la FFF pour sa plainte, alléguant un complot de la FIFA.
