What Vinicius Jr told Prestianni: expert reveals all | OneFootball

Football painted Vinicius Jr. as the victim of yet another recent alleged racism case that occurred during the match between Benfica and Real Madrid. However, days after the incident, new data emerged showing that the Brazilian international had a hostile attitude towards Gianluca Prestianni before the alleged "monkey" insult.

Gustavo Machado, a lip-reading expert, revealed the statements made by Real Madrid's number 7 following the goal he scored, at the moment he told François Letexier that he had been a target of racism. According to the same source, the insults allegedly started with the French referee.

"Speak up, damn it!", Vinicius Jr. reportedly said moments after scoring the only goal of the match, addressing François Letexier. "Why? Why did you give me a card? Are you kidding? Why me? Why?", the Brazilian added after being shown a yellow card.

Next, the focus was on the winger's interaction with Prestianni. "Shut up, you idiot! Shut up, you cowardly piece of crap", he allegedly said to the Argentine before informing Letexier that he had been insulted by the Benfica player. "Referee! He called me a monkey! He called me a monkey!", Vinicius Jr. informed the match official before repeating the same to Nicolás Otamendi.

"I know what he said. I got a yellow card and he didn't?! Only I got the yellow...", lamented Real Madrid's number 7 before the referee activated the anti-racism protocol, which interrupted the Champions League match for 10 minutes before it resumed.
