Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni, accused of aiming racial abuse at Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, reportedly claims the Brazilian called him a “dwarf” during the first leg of the Champions League knockout phase playoffs.
The 20-year-old was suspended for the second leg of the all-important tie as UEFA investigates the incident that unfolded at the Estádio da Luz last Tuesday night. Vinicius Jr alleges Prestianni called him a “monkey,” while the Argentine claims he said a homophobic slur.
