The alleged racist insult that occurred during the match between Benfica and Real Madrid by Prestianni towards Vinicius Jr. did not go unnoticed by the Brazilian Football Confederation, which spoke out with a forceful message transmitted through its social networks.
Brazil responds after what happened in Lisbon with Vinicius
The CBF issued a statement expressing its full support for the striker: "CBF stands in solidarity with Vinicius Junior, who was the victim of another act of racism on Tuesday after scoring for Real Madrid against Benfica in Lisbon. Racism is a crime. It is unacceptable. It cannot exist in football or anywhere else."
The message continues with direct support for the footballer: "Vini, you are not alone. Your attitude in activating the protocol is an example of courage and dignity. We are proud of you.."

Vinicius accuses racist insult against him during Benfica vs Real Madrid match
The match between Real Madrid and Benfica in the Champions League Playoffs left a scene that reignited the alarm about racism in European football. After scoring the 1-0 for the Merengues, Vinicius Jr. claimed to have received a racist insult in the midst of the protests after his celebration. The referee stopped the match and activated the corresponding protocol, although the match resumed minutes later as there was not enough evidence to prove the accusations. Hours later, the official reaction from Brazil was not long in coming.
Institutional support reinforces the stance that Brazil has adopted in recent years in the face of the constant episodes of racism that Vinicius has suffered mainly in European competitions
Arbeloa has also expressed his support for the Brazilian striker, pointing out that he believes in his word and that racism is intolerable and even more so in today's football, condemning and demanding a prompt response from the Argentine striker, while waiting for UEFA to pronounce on the matter.
