Former French footballer Djibril Cissé, who played for clubs like Liverpool, Marseille and Lazio, reappeared in the headlines after making remarks in European media. Cissé recalled France's loss in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina and expressed strong feelings of hatred. The statement immediately sparked backlash online, though the post contained no links or social media references.
"I have a lot of hate towards the Argentines."
Cissé added that France hopes to win the third World Cup trophy in 2026 and wants to see Messi play his last match without the presence of Argentina. He also criticized Enzo Fernández for a video that spread racist and homophobic chants against the French.
"I cannot understand how they forgave it."
"I want to get the third star in Messi's last match."
Throughout his career, Cissé has been involved in controversies including an arrest for assaulting a 15‑year‑old boy and a confrontation with his pregnant wife. These incidents add to the context of public figures who often become debate subjects.
