Following the scandalous incident that occurred during the match between Real Madrid and Benfica, FIFA are weighing the introduction of new regulations.
Details: According to Sky Sports News, FIFA representatives are set to examine the possibility of establishing what has been dubbed the “Prestianni Law.” The proposed rule would mean players could face sanctions if they deliberately cover their mouths while directing abuse at opponents on the pitch.
The discussion stems from an incident in which Benfica’s Prestianni pulled his shirt over his mouth and allegedly made racist remarks toward Vinícius.
Real Madrid, for their part, issued an official statement regarding the racist incidents that occurred during the match. According to the club, they have provided UEFA with all available evidence related to the episode.
Reminder: The Portuguese government has decided to intervene directly in the situation and launch an official investigation into the incident involving Gianluca Prestianni and Vinícius Júnior.
