Chilavert commented on the conflict between Vinicius and Prestianni

Former Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert supported Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni in the conflict that occurred during the Champions League match between Benfica and Real Madrid. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Earlier, Real Madrid player Vinicius Junior accused Prestianni of racism against him during the match. This was reported by euro-football.ru.

According to Chilavert, it is wrong to assess the situation one-sidedly. He said: "I support Prestianni.

Vinicius always starts insulting those around him first." He made this statement on Radio Rivadavia.

It is reported that UEFA has launched an investigation into this incident following the match between Benfica and Real Madrid. However, since Prestianni covered his mouth with his shirt during the episode, it may be difficult to prove that offensive words were used.

The return match between the teams will take place on February 25. Real Madrid won the first away game 1-0 and currently holds a slight advantage.

Chilavert raised another question regarding the conflict: "90 percent of the players in the Real team are black. Why is the problem only related to Vinicius?" This question could deepen the conflict further.
