Prestianni causes stir again and Benfica on alert over new row | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni has once again found himself in the spotlight, this time because of a moment shared on social media. The Benfica winger posted a photo of himself behind the wheel, drinking mate, a traditional Argentine beverage, but “very sped up”.

The post might have gone unnoticed if not for one detail that quickly caught people’s attention. On the car’s speedometer, it was possible to see that the player was travelling at 150 km/h. According to Portugal’s Highway Code, the maximum speed limit for passenger cars on motorways is 120 km/h. In other words, the situation shown in the image raises questions about compliance with traffic rules.

The post came the day after Benfica’s win over Moreirense, during a day off given to the squad. Even so, the episode is generating a reaction among fans. The Eagles return to work next Monday, beginning preparations for the away match against Famalicão, in a game counting for the 32nd round of the league.

It is worth remembering that Prestianni has already been notified of UEFA’s punishment related to the case involving Vinícius Júnior. The European body announced a six-match ban (three effective) following the match against Real Madrid, in the first leg of the Champions League play-off.

This season, playing for Benfica, Gianluca Prestianni — valued at €12 million — has already made a total of 38 appearances: 26 in Liga Portugal Betclic, five in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,913 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the winger has recorded three goals and four assists.
