Gonçalo Ramos on Prestianni's alleged racism row in Benfica game | OneFootball

Gonçalo Ramos - who shone against Toulouse - was asked about the Benfica - Real Madrid controversy, which, despite the Merengues' victory, ended up being marked by the incident involving Gianluca Prestianni and Vinícius Júnior, and said he condemns the Argentine if that discrimination is proven.

"The truth is that, from what they say, there is no proof it really happened, but if it did, it is condemnable, we have to avoid this kind of behavior. No matter how much someone celebrates a goal or whatever it may be. Or if you want to call it provocation, it is part of our sport and others: if we look at the history of basketball, of tennis, a bit of provocation ends up firing us up", began the PSG forward, speaking on Mega Hits' 'Cala-te Boca' segment.

He then spoke about the competitive level that exists in football: "We are all little competitive animals. Any professional player likes a bit of provocation. Among ourselves at PSG and in the national team, we even provoke each other while playing cards".

Gonçalo Ramos criticizes any discriminatory act: "I hope the exposure we already have and the measures already in place are enough, especially because if there are too many measures, stoppages and punishments, it ends up harming the sporting spectacle. I think we are all intelligent enough to understand that there is a line and not to say that kind of thing".
