Benfica forward Gianluca Prestianni has admitted to teammates that he called Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior "monkey" in the first leg of their playoff tie.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to the newspaper Correio da Manhã.
As the source notes, the Argentine footballer presented several arguments to emphasize the absence of a racist context in his statements.
The game was stopped in the second half after Vinicius accused Prestianni of calling him a "monkey". The Argentine footballer then covered his mouth with his shirt.
UEFA has provisionally suspended the Argentine midfielder on charges of alleged racist abuse against the Real Madrid winger. The organization is currently investigating the incident.
