A reporter from TyC Sports – an Argentine based sports channel – asked them to perform a chant for the cameras… before things went badly wrong.

Despite not even being in the same group as the French, the group of supporters gleefully aimed hideous abuse at Les Bleus.

The Argentine fans performed a vile chant in which they claimed French players to be “all from Angola”.

One player in the French squad, Eduardo Camavinga, was born in the African country – before moving to France at the age of two.

Les Bleus’ mix of heritage has been targeted by rival fans before, despite being celebrated back home – with their victorious 1998 squad being affectionately dubbed “Black Blanc Beur” – meaning “Black, White, Arab”.

The Argentine fans also targeted French star Mbappe with a transphobic chant.

Their disgusting song sought to target the PSG striker regarding rumours surrounding his dating life.

During the chant, TyC Sports’ embarrassed reporter had to quickly get the fans to stop.
