Celtic stumble into Champions League purgatory as £40m jackpot kiboshed for paltry UEFA payday

Gianluca Prestianni‚ the Benfica star accused of racially abusing Vinicius Jr‚ is reportedly claiming the Real Madrid winger referred to him as a dwarf or midget during the Champions League match last week. The Argentine‚ who has been given a provisional one-match ban by UEFA‚ is set to miss the second leg of the play-off tie on Wednesday‚ one week after the ugly scenes that followed Vinicius' winner in the 50th minute of the first leg in Lisbon. Prestianni is alleged to have directed the word 'mono'‚ or monkey‚ towards Vinicius Jr after the Brazilian's goading celebration in front of Benfica fans‚ but the 20-year-old star has since claimed that he used a homophobic slur instead.
