Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni has addressed a controversial incident involving Real Madrid‘s Vinícius Júnior during a recent Champions League playoff match. Prestianni alleges that he was subjected to verbal abuse not only from Júnior but also from fellow football star Kylian Mbappé.
Vinícius Júnior told me, ‘Come on, play one-on-one against me,’ and then said, ‘f*** your mother.’ With Kylian Mbappé, they were insulting me together.” They call someone racist when he has never been on. I don’t admire them as players. They are good players, but nothing special. I admire Lionel Messi.
Prestianni’s comments have sparked significant media attention and may lead to potential disciplinary actions following the incident.
