The chicane of Chiqui Tapia to Mbappé after the consecration of Uruguay in the Under-20 World Cup

Uruguay was crowned champion of the Under-20 World Cup. This Sunday, La Celeste beat Italy 1-0 in La Plata, and won the highest title in the category for the first time in its history. Beyond the celebrations on the other side of the pond, several Argentines were happy for the consecration of the Uruguayan team, among them, Claudio Tapia, who highlighted the great moment that the South American teams live and recalled a phrase that Kylian Mbappé had said. Argentina world champion in majors. Uruguay champion Sub 20. Brazil U17 and Olympic champion,” the AFA president wrote on his Twitter account. In the post, El Chiqui included a photo of Lionel Messi and company lifting the World Cup in Qatar 2022, and another of Fabricio Díaz, the Charrúa captain, doing the same in La Plata. And alluding to an old phrase of the French striker, he chicaneed: “But how? If Mbappe said that in South America there was no level.” In May 2022, the Paris Saint-Germain player said that “in South America football is not as advanced as in Europe. That’s why, when you look at the last World Cups, it’s always the Europeans who win.” He added: “The advantage we have in Europe over Argentina and Brazil is that here we always play high-level matches. Now the UEFA Nations League begins, for example, and when we get to the World Cup we will be ready.”
