Former Argentine President Mauricio Macri, speaking about the favorites of the 2022 World Cup, called the Germans "a superior race."
“First of all, I will include Argentina among the five candidates for winning the World Cup. Of course, there is also Brazil, and Portugal has very good players.
France is the reigning champion with very good players. Also, Germany should never be ruled out because it is the superior race. They always play to the end,” said Mauricio Macri.
However, Macri later apologized for his words, saying that he had expressed himself unsuccessfully.
“Referring to the undeniable football skills of the German national team, an unfortunate phrase escaped me, which refers to the worst nightmares of mankind. I want to clear this up and apologize,” Macri tweeted.
