Recently, in the Champions League play-off stage, Real Madrid defeated Benfica in Lisbon with a score of 0:1. Interestingly, this game was remembered not only for its bright moments and fierce confrontation between players, but also for a racist scandal involving Real's forward Vinicius Junior. The main resource of the Madrid club has already reacted to this incident. This is reported by UNN with reference to the official statement of the club.
Thus, the Madrid team emphasized that they are actively cooperating with the investigation launched by the European football union after unacceptable manifestations of racism during the match.
