Mbappé caught swearing at Benfica player after Vini Jr racism row | OneFootball

Real Madrid (ESP) defeated Benfica (POR) 1-0 in the Champions League playoffs

The racism committed by Prestianni from Benfica (POR) against Vini Jr outraged the Real Madrid (ESP) team, especially Mbappé. This is because, after the incident, a video shows the Frenchman cursing the professional who offended the Flamengo youth academy graduate.

“You are a racist piece of sh**,” shouted Mbappé towards Prestianni this Tuesday (17). The game ended 1-0 for Real Madrid in the Champions League playoffs, at the Estádio da Luz in Portugal.

Watch the video:

How did the racism against Vini occur?

As soon as he scored the winning goal, danced, and received a yellow card, Benfica's players started an argument with Vini Jr. Thus, the Argentine Prestianni covered his mouth and directed a ‘mono’ (monkey, in Spanish) at the Brazilian, who reported the incident to the referee.

The former Flamengo player left the field and received support from his teammates. However, the referee did not punish the offender and resumed the match ten minutes later. Thus, the French striker's stance suggests that the case will not be easily forgotten.

Did Mbappé say anything else?

— The number 25, whose name I don't want to mention because he doesn't deserve it, started saying some unacceptable words. Then the player covered his mouth and called Vini a monkey five times. We lost control, this is unacceptable -, highlighted Mbappé to TNT Sports.

How is Flamengo doing without Vini?

While the star shines at Real, Flamengo is focusing on the match against Lanús (ARG) in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match is scheduled for Thursday (19) in Argentina, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
