Portuguese club Benfica have released a video to defend their player, Gianluca Prestianni, who Vinicius Junior accuses of making a racist insult.
Tuesday night's match between Benfica and Real Madrid ended with a 0-1 victory for the visitors thanks to a goal from Vinicius Jr.
However, despite the super goal, attention was stolen by an alleged racist episode towards the Brazilian by Benfica's Prestianni.
Vinicius Jr ran towards the referee to accuse the player as the match was stopped for almost 10 minutes.
Prestianni was also accused by other Real Madrid players, such as Kylian Mbappe, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde, who claim the Brazilian called them 'monkeys'.
But the Portuguese club has taken care to publish some evidence that casts doubt on Real Madrid's version, as according to them, no one heard what Prestianni said due to the distance.
"As the images show, given the distance, the Real Madrid players could not have heard what they say they heard," Benfica's post, attached to a photo, said. /Telegraph/
