Luisão hits back, accuses Benfica fans of abuse: They called me Judas | OneFootball

The controversy involving Luisão has entered a new chapter. One day after criticizing Benfica's stance regarding the alleged racist insults by Gianluca Prestianni, the former Eagles defender has once again come forward to denounce that he has been the target of attacks on social media for showing solidarity with Vinicius Jr.

"I was insulted on social media, called a monkey, called Judas, told I should never set foot in the Stadium again," began the former number 4 of the Eagles in a post on social media, revealing that he has been attacked on the post he made defending Vinicius Jr.

"The Benfica shirt is my second skin!" added the former Eagles captain, expressing his hurt at being attacked by Benfica fans for taking a stand in favor of his compatriot, and accusing the Luz club of lying.

"It makes me sad, even when we take a stand on something so serious... that's why I think Vini is a hero and a reference when it comes to defending the flag against prejudice... saying no to racism," added the former Brazilian defender.

"It hurts to the core, you feel it without being able to do anything, without being able to act. I just hope that Europe, as it is a reference, will also be a reference against racism," concluded Luisão, in a second message shared on his official Instagram account.
