Les joueurs de la sélection argentine ont à nouveau créé la polémique après leur victoire en finale de la Copa America, avec un chant raciste entonné à l’encontre des Français et de Kylian Mbappé.
The scene sparked reactions on social networks. In a live broadcast on Enzo Fernandez's social networks, we see the players starting a racist chant which had already been taken up by the supporters in 2022 during the World Cup in Qatar.
A song already sung by the supporters

"They play for France but come from Angola". The Chelsea midfielder then cut the video to avoid controversy, but the players can clearly be seen singing on the bus. Much too late since we hear the first, explicit words.
