Enzo Fernandez posted a video of the Argentina squad singing a section of a racist song about Kylian Mbappe after their Copa America win.

Warning: The song lyrics referenced in this article include transphobic and racial slurs.

On Sunday, Lautaro Martinez struck the game’s only goal in the second half of extra time to see Argentina beat Colombia and win a record 16th Copa America.

Amid Argentina’s celebrations, however, a video originally posted on social media by Chelsea midfielder Fernandez, features the Argentina squad appearing to sing a section of a racist chant about the France team.

The players are seen chanting together on a bus, with the aforementioned racist song seemingly starting up towards the end of the Instagram live. Someone then swiftly instructs Enzo Fernandez to stop filming and the video cuts out.

The full lyrics to the song, at times sung by a section of the Argentina support, are: “Listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they are all from Angola, they are going to run well, they like to sleep with trans people, their mum is Nigerian, their dad is Cameroonian, but on the passport it says: French.”

The Argentina federation has yet to address the video, which has been viewed on social media over a million times at the time of writing.

SPORTbible has contacted the Argentina FA and Enzo Fernandez's representatives for comment.

Elsewhere, the Copa America final was marred before kick-off by fan trouble outside the stadium.

The match was pushed back by an hour as ticketless supporters stormed entry points in a bid to force their way inside. Some are even said to have climbed through air vents.

Moreover, Argentina talisman and sporting icon Lionel Messi also suffered a horrific ankle injury, leaving him in floods of tears on the bench.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has not confirmed whether he will feature for his national side at the World Cup in two years.
