Lukebakio slams Prestianni at Benfica: I can't accept this | OneFootball

At the end of the defeat against Real Madrid (0-1), most of the Eagles' players preferred not to comment on the situation in depth, unlike José Mourinho. However, just hours before the second leg of the Champions League play-off at the Bernabéu, Dodi Lukebakio broke the silence in the locker room and addressed the Prestianni case.

"All I hope is that what he said is false. Because if it's true, I cannot accept it. I am against injustices. And every injustice deserves to face consequences", stated the Brussels native in an interview with Pickx + Sports, who might even start in the lineup to replace Prestianni. It should be noted that the number 25 of the team was provisionally suspended by UEFA and will miss Wednesday's game.

"I have talked a lot about this in the past with other people, asking myself how I would react if it happened to me, because we usually experience this from afar", admitted Lukebakio, who for now prefers to show a bit of naivety and believe in his colleague's innocence, but not ruling out any possibility.

"It's true that people talk and speculate, but in the end, we don't know what he really said. Is it the truth or was it exaggerated to take advantage of the situation? I also think it's possible that Real wanted to use this to their advantage", he suggested, leaving the matter open but calling for consequences if confirmed.

Remember that Benfica will return to the field next Wednesday, February 25th, against Real Madrid. The match, part of the second leg of the Champions League play-off, will be played at 8:00 PM at the Bernabéu. The game will be broadcast on Sport TV5.
