Disgraceful! Benfica player abused in Denmark: your mum is a w*** | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni realized from the very first minutes that he would not have a quiet night in Aarhus. As soon as he touched the ball for the first time, the Argentine winger was met with a huge chorus of whistles from the stands, in an atmosphere seemingly linked to the well-known Vinícius case.

The tension increased even more after Prestianni put Benfica ahead. After scoring, the Benfica player raised his arms in a customary celebration, but the gesture was not well received by the Danish fans. Objects were thrown onto the pitch, forcing German referee Daniel Siebert to step in.

The referee quickly went over to the Benfica footballer and asked him to keep his celebration under control, since the Argentine was close to the Aarhus supporters’ section. Tomás Araújo, captain of the Eagles, also spoke with the referee for a few seconds, in an attempt to calm tempers and prevent the situation from escalating further.

The atmosphere, however, did not improve. After the goal, Prestianni was whistled practically every time he touched the ball. Even when he was down on the pitch, the Argentine winger continued to be targeted with abuse from the stands.

The Danish media also helped reveal the extent of the abuse directed at the player. The fans even insulted Prestianni’s mother: “Your mother is a wh***.” The incident ended up turning Prestianni’s European night into a match marked not only by his contribution on the pitch, but also by the strong hostility he faced from the stands.
