UEFA has provisionally suspended Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni for one match over allegations he racially abused Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior, meaning he will miss their Champions League playoff second leg. Prestianni denies the claim, and an investigation is ongoing. The incident followed Vinícius’ goal celebration that angered Benfica fans. FIFA and players condemned the alleged racism, while Benfica expressed support for Prestianni.
