Gianluca Prestianni used his Instagram to clarify he never directed racist insults at Vinicius Junior, stating the Brazilian player misinterpreted his words. The Argentine forward expressed regret over the threats he received from Real Madrid players following the accusation.
Mbappé has come to Vini Jr.'s defense, claiming he heard the insults five times. As Benfica and Real Madrid prepare to meet again next Wednesday, Uefa has yet to comment on the incident.
