🚨 Uefa make decision on Prestianni in Vinícius Júnior case | OneFootball

The UEFA Disciplinary Committee issued a resolution following the incidents that occurred in the last match between Benfica and Real Madrid, during the Champions League playoffs.

According to the statement, Argentine forward Gianluca Prestianni has been provisionally suspended for one match amid an ongoing investigation into alleged racist insults directed at Vinícius Júnior.

The decision comes after the match referee and UEFA delegates reported unsportsmanlike behavior in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms.

Although the punishment is provisional, the highest authority in European football seeks to provide a swift response to any indication of discriminatory conduct in its official competitions.

Benfica works to mitigate the sanction

The Portuguese club hopes to present arguments within the next 48 hours to try to reduce or annul the punishment before their next international commitment.

UEFA will continue to analyze video evidence to determine whether the suspension should be made permanent or extended. This resolution sets a precedent for UEFA's swift action in incidents of this nature.
