UEFA suspends Benfica’s Prestianni for six games for abusive remarks

Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni has received a six-match suspension from UEFA for homophobic discriminatory conduct during a Champions League match against Real Madrid in February. This includes a three-match suspension, which will be under probation for two years, following a one-match provisional ban already served. Prestianni allegedly directed a racial slur at Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr., a claim he denies, stating it was a misunderstanding. UEFA plans to request FIFA to extend the ban globally.
