Gianluca Prestianni has spoken again this week about the racist affair with Vinicius in the match between Benfica and Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Prestianni insists that he did not say anything, but that he did hear Mbappe call him a "f***ing racist" after his clash with the Real Madrid number seven. "Yes, yes, I heard it, but for us Argentines it is a normal insult, you are insulting, you are treating someone as racist that I never was and I never will be, for us Argentines, it is like an insult and nothing more, like taking you out of the game, but I never wanted to react and I will not react, that is, no matter what they say to me in an insult, I would never react, on the contrary, I will show them on the pitch playing," he said in an interview with 'Intuiciones en primera persona'.

"Not playing the second leg hurt me a lot, it was something I didn't say and I was sanctioned without proof, but nothing, it's over, I'm very grateful to the team, to the coaching staff of Benfica, who waited for me until the last minute so that I could play. I had to talk to my teammates of course, because there are teammates of the same color as Vinicius and nothing ever happened with my teammates, on the contrary... then they wanted to try to treat me as homophobic, it was to generate trouble for certain things that are not, for us Argentines are normal insults, like fagot, shit, but nothing, luckily the team, the coaching staff, everything supported me."

The Argentine admits that he had a worse time because of his family. "I am stronger, but I also thought about my dad, my mom, my grandparents, that all these things are said that I am not, nor did they happen, it is ugly and hurts a lot, but also more for them," he said. "Because one thing is me, that I can endure it, being used to being a player and that people talk about things, it will always happen, but they are not used to it and that hurt me a little."

"I didn't notice if something was going to happen, what hurt me was that they treated me as something I never did, I think that was what hurt me the most, but luckily I am very calm that all the people who know me know the kind of person I am and that is enough for me, I am very calm, I am very grateful to the club that also believed me and supported me in every way, my teammates, they showed it to me behind closed doors and that for me is worth much more than going out and uploading a story on social networks," he adds.
