The former Juventus and Inter player made a harsh statement regarding Prestianni's actions.

Details: 42-year-old former defensive midfielder for Fiorentina, Juventus, Inter, Galatasaray, Palmeiras, and Fluminense, Felipe Melo, posted a video on his Instagram account in which he fiercely criticized 20-year-old Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni for allegedly making racist insults toward Vinicius Junior.

"Burn the racists! Burn the racists! That's right. His wife (Prestianni's) must have already cheated on him with a big Black guy," Melo shouted.

Felipe Melo ended his career a year ago with Fluminense in Brazil. Over his entire club career, he played 818 matches, scoring 65 goals and providing 27 assists. He also earned 22 caps for the Brazilian national team, scoring 2 goals.
