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 quickly sparked controversy by questioning the attitude of Brazilian players on the field, claiming there is selective impunity: “The Brazilians insult you and say everything, but you can't react because they report you,” the Paraguayan stated.

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

However, the most controversial point came when Chilavert targeted Kylian Mbappé for backing his teammate. After ironically questioning “What can Mbappé say?” the former captain of the Paraguayan national team made 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, resulted in a scandal due to his discriminatory remarks.
