Benfica’s appeal against a provisional suspension of player Gianluca Prestianni by Uefa has been rejected due to allegations of racial abuse towards Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. The suspension, imposed after the first leg of their Champions League tie, prevents Prestianni from participating in the second leg. The incident, which occurred after Vinicius scored, led to a stoppage in play as he reported the abuse. Uefa’s investigation into the matter continues, with a decision pending.
