Gianluca Prestianni may be an option for the second leg of the Champions League. It has been determined that the number 25 could join the Benfica team in the clash against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, at a time when UEFA is seeking to investigate what happened at Estádio da Luz.

According to the newspaper Record, the Argentine international will be the subject of an investigation by the body that governs European football. However, as the same source explains, the time this type of situation usually takes should not be an obstacle for the 20-year-old footballer to be present in the decisive match.

The process in question is far from over, as UEFA has only appointed an ethics inspector, who will be responsible for investigating all the facts that occurred at Estádio da Luz. A situation that should not prevent Prestianni from playing on February 25th in Madrid.

In the last 24 hours, various reactions have emerged showing solidarity with Vinicius Jr., leaving harsh criticism towards the Argentine player. Among those involved was Luisão, who did not hold back in criticizing Benfica. The Club of Luz, in turn, issued a statement defending Prestianni.
