This Tuesday, December 20, millions of Argentines celebrate with their hero, the title of world champion of Lionel Messi and his family.
The country has been waiting for it for 36 years.
In Buenos Aires, the crowd is huge, compact, impressive.
In the middle, fans brandished a pike and burned a cardboard coffin with a photo of the French striker.
Terrifying and outrageous.
The violent and gratuitous insults against Mbappé.
There are no excuses.
It is shameful.
Let them party, ok.
But that they allow themselves to insult on television like that... Courage to @MarieGentric on the spot... pic.twitter.com/2LUNbe0wx9

On BFM, at 5 p.m., reporter Marie Gentric is live among the fans.
Rarely a good idea when there are celebrations;
It's the best way to give voice to imbeciles or give them a screen presence they don't deserve.
Taking his live, a bearded Argentinian grabs his microphone and yells
Mbappé, la concha de tu madre
A poetic phrase that could be translated as "
Mbappé, the ch.. to your mother
or
Mbappé, the c... from your mother
a common and vulgar insult and offense in South American countries, especially in Argentina, Chile or Peru.
It is therefore directly aimed at the top scorer of the World Cup whom the Argentines do not seem to forgive for having scored three goals and having scared them in the final.
Argentinian supporters burn a fake coffin with a photo of Kylian Mbappé on it… 🫥

That's all ?
No.
Our colleague, jostled by the crowd but that's less surprising, says that she hears this insult a lot in the procession "and racist insults" she specifies.
Other fans, tipsy looking for a second of glory on a TV on the other side of the world, in turn scream into the
Puto
microphone several times, always against Kylian Mbappé.
An insult that needs no translation as it looks like its French equivalent.
