Source Reveals Gianluca Prestianni's Comments After Vinicius Junior's Racism Allegation

ESPN reports that a source revealed Gianluca Prestianni, a Benfica player, stated in a UEFA investigation that he did not use a racial slur against Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid, but instead used another inappropriate word. The incident occurred during the UEFA Champions League playoff match between Benfica and Real Madrid midweek, where Vinicius claimed Prestianni used a racist term. The latest source told ESPN that Prestianni denied using the word 'mono' (meaning monkey in Spanish, which is considered racist), but admitted to using another inappropriate term that was a derogatory slur against the LGBTQ+ community, claiming that was all he said.
