Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe stated after the first leg of the Champions League play-off match against Benfica (1-0) that the opponent's Portuguese winger Gianluca Prestianni called the Royal Club's forward Vinicius Junior a "monkey" five times. Sport24.az reports that he made a statement about this to Marca:
"Prestianni called Vinicius a monkey five times! Five! I saw and heard it too. He covered his face with his shirt so that no one could see or hear him. But all this was clearly visible in his reaction after the match, in his face, in his behavior. His face doesn't lie."
It should be noted that the game was stopped in the second half after Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior accused Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni of racism.
