Video | Chilavert defends Prestianni, takes swipe at Mbappé | OneFootball

True to his confrontational style, José Luis Chilavert broke his silence on La Oral Deportiva to defend Gianluca Prestianni after his clash with Vinicius Jr. The former goalkeeper wasted no time in lighting the fuse by questioning the attitude of Brazilian players on the field, claiming that there is selective impunity: “The Brazilians insult you and say all sorts of things, but you can’t react because they report you,” fired the Paraguayan.

During the interview, the Vélez idol expanded on his stance and directly targeted the Real Madrid star, whom he accused of systematically playing the victim. “I stand with Prestianni. Vinicius is the first to insult everyone,” he declared, also asserting that the Brazilian forward is the one who starts the provocations in order to gain media advantage: “Vinicius has dramatized everything as always and on top of that, he’s the one who starts with the insults,” he concluded, adding that the striker “always wants to be in the spotlight.”

However, the most controversial moment came when Chilavert took aim at Kylian Mbappé for supporting his teammate. After ironically asking “What can Mbappé say?” the former captain of the Paraguayan national team went off track with comments about the Frenchman’s private life that sparked widespread condemnation. By saying that “Mbappé talks about values and lives with a transvestite,” Chilavert ended an intervention that, far from staying in the realm of sports, turned into a scandal due to his discriminatory remarks.
