In just a few days, Real Madrid and Benfica will face off in the UEFA Champions League return leg. Following the controversy that erupted in the first encounter, UEFA is reportedly on alert.
Details: According to Cadena SER, there is growing concern within the organization over how the match could unfold, particularly regarding the interaction between Vinícius and Prestianni. UEFA fears the players may refuse to shake hands, a gesture that could cast a shadow over the image of the game.
UEFA is currently considering the possibility of suspending Prestianni. However, no official decision has been made, with a ruling expected in the coming days.
Reminder: Before the kickoff of the La Liga Matchday 25 showdown between Osasuna and Real Madrid, all eyes were on Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian winger found himself the target of the home supporters’ hostility.
