Vinícius’ teammates backed his accusation against Gianluca Prestianni | OneFootball

After the scandal in Lisbon, two key members of the Real Madrid squad spoke out about the racism accusation made by Vinícius Júnior during the match against Benfica in the Champions League.

Aurélien Tchouaméni shared that the Brazilian told them on the field that Gianluca Prestianni had allegedly called him a "monkey," a phrase that was then reported to the referee, leading to a temporary halt of the match.

Meanwhile, Federico Valverde also supported his teammate and was forthright: “Many people have fought for this. Vini is one of those who have fought for this. It is unfortunate that it keeps happening.”

The incident once again highlighted the fight against racism in European football, with the Merengue team standing firm in their stance to support their star player.
