Scandal continues: Prestianni may report Vinicius in Europe | OneFootball

The scandal between Gianluca Prestianni and Vinicius promises more episodes. The young Argentine traveled with the Benfica squad to Spain (even though everything indicates that he will not be able to play in the second leg of the Champions League Playoffs against Real Madrid this Wednesday due to his suspension) and now, a portal in England claims that he could file a complaint against the Brazilian forward.

According to The Times, the former Vélez player is considering suing the Real Madrid star for calling him a “dwarf” during the first leg at the Estadio Da Luz. However, they clarify that this defense will not serve as an excuse after being accused of making racist insults (he allegedly called his rival a “monkey”).

Amid the investigation, UEFA decided to provisionally suspend Prestianni following Vinicius’s accusation. Beyond that, the Argentine player received the support of Benfica, traveled with the squad to Spain, and even trained at the Santiago Bernabéu with his teammates.

Except for an unlikely last-minute administrative twist, he will miss the match due to the sanction. “The club has taken a position. UEFA has made a decision and we have appealed it. We have to prepare for all possible scenarios,” warned João Tralhão—assistant to José Mourinho—at a press conference.
