BENFICA vs REAL MADRID | Champions League Playoff 1st Leg | 17.02.26 | 21:00 CET

This, just laughable, talk about hypocrisy....

 

Prestianni is guilty af. Vini and Camavinga confirmed racist slur. He said it 5 times according to Mbappe.

🚨 Prestianni told the referee that he called Vini "hermano" (brother) not "m*no" (m*nkey). @DiarioOle

HE COVERED HIS MOUTH TO SAY "BROTHER" APPARENTLY, THIS GUY IS A JOKE 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/GVe6yYsqlD

Nice one Jose. The good old "why does it always happens to Vini?". Let's not act shocked we can find posts from people here using the same "logic" years ago as well. That's the problem guys we found it. It only happens to Vini because he's TOO black. Other black players don't have such issues. It's Vini that's the issue.

I also want to know what will happen. Alot of empty campaigns. They have now got the chance to take action. Boy called him monkey 5 times. That is unacceptable

 

Unfortunately it will be hard to prove given he covered his mouth unless someone has some other footage.

We all (with brains and eyes) knew what was said the moment Vini reacted and the aftermath.

UEFA will play the diplomatic card though.

It’s hard to do something now because that ******** was hiding his mouth. In terms of getting evidence together I don’t know how you do that unless a Benfica player also accuses him, which won’t happen unfortunately.

These incidents should just mean a lifetime ban from the competition. Stifle their career directly and make them less commercially viable to other clubs, and see if he repeats that again in his career in Europe.

Also, Mourinho, ******** that guy.

 

He will probably get away with as there were no mics near him to pick up what was said and he covered his mouth with jersey to avoid lip reading.

🚨🚨 Kylian Mbappé: "I will tell you the FULL STORY of what happened:

Vinicius scored, and what a goal! He celebrated.

Then the fans booed. These things happen, they happen, and they will happen in football.

Prestianni is a good player but he's a massive piece of shit. Total Argentinian DNA. Good for Vinicius.

 

Brilliantly said by Mbappe.

 

It was on the shoulder.

 

Why doesnt Pastrami or whats his name have arms?

 

I was going to call this post out at the time, but after his post-game comments now I really want to know -- why? What exactly has he said or done that makes him "such an unlikeable character"? And I don't mean speculation of what he secretly thinks or does 'behind the scenes'. His post-game comments are exactly in line with the rest of what I've seen and heard from him in the past. I understand how some people unhappy with him tactically -- occupying the same space as Vini, that a classic #9 would be a better fit positionally, or the simplistic take that we won the double, signed him, then didn't win a title the following year and have struggled this year, but I don't understand people thinking he is a particularly bad, unlikeable person.

 

Roger Milla did a similar dance in the 1990 World Cup Finals. It was not something new. That was almost 36 years ago. On top of myt head, Otamendi on the field was the only player born then. People loved Milla's dance. It was not something new. Why the controversy?
