This is a subject which caused a lot of ink to flow again this Tuesday in the Champions League. During the meeting between Real Madrid and Benfica, Vinicius Jr was allegedly the victim of a racist insult from Argentinian Gianluca Prestianni. After the Brazilian’s goal, at the time of the commitment, the young 20-year-old Argentinian came to address Vinicius Jr by hiding his mouth. And in the seconds that followed, Vinicius exploded with anger by going directly to the referee of the match. Since then, several Madrid players, including Kylian MbappĂ©, have denounced Prestianni’s behavior.
With this new case of racism, football players also reacted, notably Vincent Kompany this Friday at a press conference. The Bayern Munich coach was not the only one questioned about this. Luis Enrique before the meeting between PSG and FC Metz was brought back to this subject. And the Spanish coach was very brief. “The Vinicius affair? (Long silence) What I can say on this subject is not important ». A short answer that should get people reacting.
