José Nunes on the mood at Real Madrid - Benfica and warns of tensions ahead | OneFootball

The case of Gianluca Prestianni with Vinícius Júnior and the increased police presence in Madrid is creating a tense atmosphere ahead of the clash between Benfica and Real Madrid in the Spanish capital. For José Nunes, this environment was something inevitable and easy to predict.

"Since what happened a week ago, it was already known that this match in Madrid would be tense, with a heavy atmosphere," he said during a debate on the NOW channel. It is worth noting that this television channel is part of the Medialivre group, with whom Clube da Luz has cut ties.

However, the journalist recalled a phrase from José Mourinho to highlight that the Bernabéu Stadium does not have one of the most intimidating atmospheres. "I remember when José Mourinho, after leaving Real Madrid, once said that sometimes it felt like he was at the opera, so it is not one of the 'heaviest' stadiums," he said.

It should be remembered that Gianluca Prestianni was subjected to insults as he left the hotel where the Benfica delegation is staying, by supporters of the Merengue club, hours before the second-leg clash of Europe’s top club competition.

It should be noted that Benfica will take the field again next Wednesday, February 25, against Real Madrid. The match, which counts for the second leg of the Champions League play-off, will be played at 8:00 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
