Even though the Copa America 2024 final took place nearly a week ago, the Argentinians' behaviour following their triumph over Colombia (1-0) is still causing a stir. The commotion is due to the scandalous chant that has circulated on social media.
Enzo Fernandez was live streaming when viewers heard the aforementioned chant. It made references to the African origin of some French national team players, including Kylian Mbappe.
Following this incident, Wesley Fofana, Fernandez's Chelsea FC clubmate, emphatically stated that racism is pervasive. On the other hand, Fernandez officially apologised for the entire situation and assured that the song did not reflect his views.
Demba Ba also commented on the entire episode. The former well-known footballer did not hold back regarding the Argentinians and strongly criticised them in his social media post.
- Argentina, a haven for former Nazis on the loose. Since 1945, Peron has been hosting war criminals here. Such a thing cannot be surprising - read the words of the Frenchman in his post on his official account on the portal X (formerly Twitter).
