Luisão hits back and reports Benfica fans’ abuse: they called me Judas | OneFootball

The controversy with Luisão has reached a new chapter. One day after criticizing Benfica's stance regarding the alleged racist insults by Gianluca Prestianni, the former Eagles defender has once again come forward to report that he has been targeted by attacks on social media for showing solidarity with Vinicius Jr.

"I was insulted on social media, called a monkey, a Judas, that I would never set foot in the Stadium again", began the former number 4 of the Eagles on social media, reporting that he has been attacked in the post he made defending Vinicius Jr.

"The Benfica jersey is my second skin!", added the former Eagles captain, expressing his offense at being attacked by Eagles fans for taking a stance in favor of his compatriot, accusing the Clube da Luz of lying.

"I'm saddened by this, even when we take a stand on something so serious... that's why I think Vini is a hero and a reference in the requirement to defend the flag against prejudice... against racism", added the former Brazilian defender.

"It hurts in the skin, you feel it without being able to do anything, without being able to act. I just hope that Europe, as it is a reference, will also be a reference against racism", concluded Luisão, in a second message shared on his official Instagram account.
