Racism case against Vinicius, Mourinho cut off with Prestianni: He has closed it

Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni has been accused of racism towards Vinicius, an incident that occurred in the first leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid. Benfica coach Jose Mourinho has also reacted to this episode.

"If my player did not respect Benfica's principles, which are also mine, his career with a coach named Mourinho and with a club like Benfica is over.

"The presumption of innocence is a right, but I have to put a lot of 'ifs' in front," Mourinho said. "If they want me to repeat what I said, I will do it. UEFA did not include the 'ifs', which they should have done. If the player is really guilty, I will never see him as I have seen him so far and everything is closed for me, but I have to put a lot of 'ifs' in front," Mourinho said.
