"I believe Vini's words 100%" - Thibaut Courtois says UEFA must severely punish Prestianni for racism

Thibaut once again emphasizes that racism has no place in the modern world.

Details: At today's pre-match press conference, 33-year-old Belgian goalkeeper for Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois declared that he completely trusts the words of his teammate Vinicius Junior, who insists that Benfica's Argentine midfielder Gianluca Prestianni directed racist abuse at the Brazilian.

According to Thibaut, this is a decisive moment for UEFA and for the entire football world in the fight against racism:

"I believe Vini's words 100%. Vinicius has never, not even once in his life, accused an opponent of racism.

He 100% heard Prestianni say it, he has told us about it many times." - said Courtois.

Courtois also stated that UEFA must put a definitive end to this story and show the world that racism will never be tolerated again:

"This is a decisive moment for football to put an end to these things. We know what Vinicius told us.

And this is something that keeps happening over and over; we have to put a stop to it. The final decision lies with UEFA."

Despite the assertions of Vinicius and Courtois, there is still no conclusive evidence of Prestianni's guilt at this point, so UEFA continues a thorough investigation of the incident to ensure a fair verdict.
