After the controversy with Benfica, Vini Jr earns Sporting players' 'likes' | OneFootball

The controversy between Gianluca Prestianni and Vinícius Júnior crossed borders and sparked a wave of reactions on social media, mostly condemning potential racist insults and supporting the Real Madrid player, who has filed several complaints in Spain over the past few years.

The Brazilian international shared a post about the incident through his official account, but also made another one, this time in the feed, celebrating the goal scored against Benfica at Estádio da Luz, accompanied by the caption "See you at the Bernabéu".

Notably João Simões, Maxi Araújo, Ousmane Diomande, and Luís Guilherme, along with the now former Sporting player Matheus Reis, who even left his comment.

It should be noted that these interactions occurred on the goal celebration post shared by Vinícius Júnior through his Instagram account, and not on the one addressing the alleged insults - that was only shared in the 'stories', disappearing after 24 hours.

It is worth remembering that Sporting is awaiting the outcome of these play-off matches for access to the Champions League round of 16 to know their next opponent in the prestigious tournament. Rui Borges' team could face the winner of Real Madrid - Benfica, or Bodø/Glimt - Inter Milan.
