Sidny Cabral criticised by Benfica fans over Vinicius Jr shirt request | OneFootball

Benfica supporters have turned on Cape Verde international Sidny Cabral after he was seen asking Vinicius Jr for his shirt at full time in Madrid, amid the ongoing row involving Gianluca Prestianni and the Real Madrid forward.

Record writes that irritated fans have called for an immediate response from the full-back, arguing he misread the gravity of the situation with Benfica’s name under scrutiny.

Within minutes, social media filled with posts condemning the request, with users saying it was inappropriate to approach the Brazil international for his shirt while he had accused Prestianni of racist insults.

Among the reactions were demands that he be sold and disappear, and claims he lacked awareness.

Benfica are out of the Champions League after a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid. José Mourinho’s side now focus on the league, visiting Gil Vicente in Barcelos before hosting Porto in the Clássico.
