Aurelien Tchouameni breaks silence, reveals what Gianluca Prestianni allegedly said to Vinicius Jr during Benfica-Real Madrid
Aurelien Tchouameni is usually not a guy that the media follows. However, he came into the defense of his Real Madrid teammate, Vinicius Jr., who was allegedly a victim of a racist remark by Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni.
“Vini told us the Prestianni guy called him a m*nkey, but the Benfica player was saying he only called him a f*ggot,” said Tchouameni after the game. Both are serious accusations, and in fact, the referee had to activate the racism protocol during the Champions League game.
The whole argument came to fruition after Vinicius scored an amazing goal against Benfica. Vini then proceeded to celebrate in what Benfica players thought was a disrespectful way, dancing around the corner and flashing his name on the back of his shirt to the Benfica fans. Then, Benfica players started to complain to the Brazilian, and the referee even showed Vinicius the yellow card. However, then Prestianni pulled his shirt in front of his mouth and insulted the Real Madrid ace.
Vinicius Jr vs Prestianni wasn’t the only duel that surfaced in the game
While Vinicius and Prestianni had a massive confrontation, it wasn’t the only one. Benfica captain, Nicolas Otamendi, also had quite the argument with Madrid’s megastar Kylian Mbappe.
This is a developing story.
