Mbappeque turned 24 on the day millions of people took to the streets of the Argentine capital to heroically greet national team captain Lionel Messi.

SOS Racisme, an anti-racism association, included screenshots of more than 100 hateful comments in a complaint against their authors. The French federation did the same.
