Prestianni faces tough ban after Vinicius complaint

Following the accusation of racism against Vinícius Júnior during the match between Benfica and Real Madrid for the UEFA Champions League, UEFA has opened an investigation that could lead to exemplary sanctions.

According to the disciplinary regulations, Article 14 states that any conduct that undermines human dignity for racial or other discriminatory reasons can be punished with a minimum suspension of ten matches, in addition to fines or other measures.
