Prestianni admits calling Vinícius Jr a ‘donkey’, what now pundits? | OneFootball

Prestianni admitted to his Benfica teammates that he called Vinícius Jr. ‘mono’, but, according to Correio da Manhã yesterday, the Argentine player presented several arguments to assert that he is not racist and that he did not have that intention when he uttered the insult.

It should be recalled that Vinícius Jr. claimed to have been the target of racist insults during the Benfica–Real Madrid match, accusing Prestianni of calling him ‘mono’ [monkey, in Spanish].

During the proceedings, Gianluca Prestianni was provisionally suspended for one match. Benfica appealed the decision, but UEFA rejected the appeal.
