Gianluca Prestianni insists on innocence in Vinicius racism accusation‚ says homophobic insult is ‘normal'
Mourinho‚ who has previously coached Porto‚ is now manager of Benfica in his native Portugal and oversaw his side's 2-2 draw with his old club on Sunday evening. But the game was overshadowed by Mourinho's red card in the second half‚ after he was adjudged to have kicked a ball towards the away bench. He was also accused of being a traitor by the former Argentina star‚ and wanted to put the record straight after the game.
Jose Mourinho issues strong warning to Gianluca Prestianni amid racism allegations - “His career is over”
The Benfica manager‚ banned from the touchline after receiving a red card in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie‚ never turned up in the seat laid on for him. There were no fond reunions‚ no salutes to the fans‚ and no healing of relations after the row which has engulfed the two clubs since Vinicius Junior accused Gianluca Prestianni of a racial slur last week.
It promised to be a highly contentious game in the Spanish capital‚ with the two sides battling to reach the last-16 of Europe's premier competition. The tie‚ though‚ has been marred by racism allegations against Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni. The midfielder has been provisionally banned by UEFA after Madrid's Vinicius Jr accused him of calling him a 'monkey' - an allegation Prestianni denies. Before the match‚ though‚ things got violent outside the ground‚ with videos shared to social media showing riot police clashing with supporters‚ with some ending up on the floor.

Gianluca Prestianni fumes at UEFA on social media after appeal is rejected - ‘They don't even hide it'
Can anyone even remember the score from the first leg? Real Madrid and Benfica lock horns again tonight but football is the furthest thing from everyone's mind. Real are in fact 1-0 up but Vinicius Jr's goal and any sporting narrative has been obliterated in the last week after the storm of controversy surrounding the tie. It was the Brazilian who found himself at the centre of the fallout after he said he was subjected to racist abuse from Benfica star Gianluca Prestianni‚ a claim backed up by team-mates - with Kylian Mbappe insisting he heard a monkey slur five times.
