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.

Jose Mourinho defends Benfica man against racism allegations - ‘Vinicius says one thing‚ Prestianni another'
Gianluca Prestianni has sought to clarify the comments he allegedly directed to Vinicius Jr that sparked an explosive row in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The contest between Prestianni's Benfica and Vinicius's Madrid was halted for 10 minutes when the Brazilian accused his opponent of racially abusing him moments after he put the visitors in the lead in Lisbon.
Two more damning interviews given to Spanish and French television by Jose Mourinho were called out as 'hypocrisy' by Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards‚ and met with fury by Thierry Henry‚ after the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager opted to blame Vinicius Jr for 'provoking' one of his Benfica players to allegedly racially abuse him. The Brazil international had been celebrating his 50th-minute wonder-goal when he was approached by Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni‚ who said something to Vinicius with his shirt over his mouth. The Real Madrid star alleges that Prestianni called him a 'monkey'‚ while his team-mate Aurelien Tchouameni told reporters after the final whistle the Argentine had claimed he used a Spanish homophobic slur.
In a stunning intervention on social media‚ the Portuguese club shared a pitchside angle of the exchange‚ in which Prestianni can be seen in the vicinity of Vinicius. 'As the images demonstrate‚ given the distance‚ the Real Madrid players could not have heard what they claim to have heard‚' the official account said‚ prompting backlash from football fans.
