Former Manchester City defender and now pundit Micah Richards shared his thoughts about the controversy between Benfica and Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League’s Round of 32.
“Prestianni is a coward. He’s an absolute coward. No one will ever know what he said, only him and Vinicius Junior. But to pull your shirt over your mouth and now we’re having a conversation about whether he said it or not…Vini’s reaction shows it is something serious. In that moment, you almost feel sorry for
Vinicius Junior, and the reaction from the crowd… For him to get all the abuse after he was the one who allegedly got abused, I don’t think it’s right,” said Richards.
Henry chimed in and also shared his opinion.
“I want to see what Ceferin and big guys in UEFA do about this. They all hold up messages, but what will they do about this? There’s a lot of ‘pretenders’ in football. I don’t like Real Madrid, but I’m a Madridista tonight. The shirt Vinicius Jr wears should not matter here,“ he said.
