Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni claims that the scandal with Vinicius was started by the Brazilian.
İdman.Biz reports this with reference to The Times.
The currently disqualified Benfica player cited the opponent's provocative statement as the reason for the confrontation. According to him, Vinicius Junior used an offensive expression related to his height of 166 centimeters, calling the football player a "dwarf."
Prestianni also denied the earlier accusations of racism. He stated that the words spoken on the field were not heard correctly.
We remind you that an incident occurred between Real Madrid and Benfica in the first leg of the Champions League play-off round. At that time, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior accused Portuguese club midfielder Gianluca Prestianni of calling him a monkey. In turn, the UEFA Ethics, Control and Disciplinary Committee decided to suspend Argentine Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni from the return match against Real Madrid for a place in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.
