Amelie Oudea-Castera, the French minister of sport, said that she could speak with her Argentinean colleague over certain Argentina supporters’ “vulgar” taunting of France star Kylian Mbappe in Buenos Aires as they celebrated the World Cup champions’ return.

Emiliano Martinez, the goalkeeper for Argentina, held a toy baby with Mbappe’s face on it during an open-top bus parade through the capital as the nation celebrated its triumphant return. A group of fans set a makeshift coffin lid adorned with a cross and a picture of Mbappe on fire.

Oudea-Castera informed RTL Radio that she was researching the problem.

Social media users shared pictures of both people.

I am not ruling out discussing this with my counterpart,” she said, adding that France’s football body had also written to Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), over the affair.

I find all of this quite pitiful.

she stated.

Requests for comment on the situation were not immediately answered by the Argentine Embassy in Paris.
