Asked about the case of racism suffered by Vinicius Jr in the match between Real Madrid and Benfica in the Champions League, Arne Slot, coach of Liverpool, stated that more must be done to prevent such situations from happening.

“In general, it's never enough, we can always do more to ensure this never happens again. We must try, as a football community, to do more than society does. In fact, maybe it's not that difficult,” said Slot.

“The protocol was followed in the game, that's the first step. The football world reacted as we expect it to react,” he stated.

The Reds' coach praised the attitude of the Madrid players in reacting to the incident and also highlighted the referee's attitude in quickly taking action.

“I hope my players behave similarly: act immediately and the referee acts similarly, following the protocol. It is now under investigation, so I can't say much more,” he concluded.
