Historic Records and World Cup Achievements

The Real Madrid forward once again proved he is one of the greatest players in football history with another outstanding performance at the World Cup. After the tournament held in North America, FIFA’s president made no secret of his admiration for the French star’s consistency and talent.

According to information published by Ixbt.com and other international sources, Gianni Infantino specifically highlighted on his Instagram page that the 25-year-old had won the Golden Boot for the second consecutive time. With 10 goals during the tournament, Kylian Mbappé became the leading scorer in World Cup history and France’s all-time top scorer.

Strong Stand Against Racism and Discrimination

However, the tournament’s outcome was not limited to outstanding sporting achievements. Unpleasant incidents after the competition, including several discriminatory statements made by politicians, disappointed the football community.

The FIFA president strongly condemned racist and discriminatory remarks made by Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla against the forward. Such negative views, widely circulated online, sparked strong reactions from the public and government officials around the world.

The Paraguayan senator launched baseless personal attacks against Kylian Mbappé and used insulting language about his background. The incident was met with outrage in the sporting world and prompted widespread debate.

In his statement, Gianni Infantino firmly stressed that the entire football world and society stand in solidarity with the France captain. He said football must remain a safe and inclusive space for everyone and pledged that efforts to rid sport and wider society of the scourge of racism would continue.
