Prestianni case? Some point the finger at UEFA over Benfica star row | OneFootball

José Manuel Freitas did not hide his surprise that UEFA has still not concluded the investigation into the controversy involving Gianluca Prestianni. According to the NOW pundit, the body that governs European football is usually swift in these situations and he believes the Benfica player will be punished, just as happened with the Eagles.

"Very surprising, very surprising. UEFA, which is so quick to resolve issues, whatever they may be, and which hurried in the first phase, has already had more than enough time to issue an official position," José Manuel Freitas began by saying when asked about the Gianluca Prestianni case.

"At this moment, UEFA is in a tricky situation to solve the problem. Because if UEFA were absolutely certain that the Benfica player insulted Vinicius Jr., it would already have issued a punishment," added the NOW pundit, assuming that the structure led by Ceferin has no concrete evidence.

"UEFA should already have resolved the problem, given the way Benfica tried to speed up the supporters' situation, which was a complicated issue," he pointed out. "UEFA doesn't know what to do," José Manuel Freitas concluded, criticizing the fact that the European body has postponed a decision on the Prestianni case until May.

This season, playing for Benfica, Gianluca Prestianni - valued at 12 million euros - has already made a total of 34 official appearances: 22 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. .
