According to Olé, before Vinicius was suspected of being racially discriminated against, Vinicius had shouted "coward" at Prestianni in the game.
According to reports, during the match between Benfica and Real Madrid, Vinicius had insulted Prestianni before the suspected racist incident occurred. A camera on the sidelines captured the moment when the Brazilian player and the Argentinian had a verbal altercation.
This scene appeared before Prestianni covered his mouth with his jersey and Vinicius complained to the referee for allegedly being racially discriminated.
Vinicius shouted at Prestianni: "Coward, cowardly trash. "

“A coward is a person who lacks courage” clearly NOT a racist word. Players should choose their words wisely telling someone they are coward doesn’t mean they should racially discriminate others.

Vini is the problem. He always misbehaves with opposite players and fans. If someone protests it, then he will start crying for sympathy from others.

WTH.... it seems like people are trying to justify Vinicius being racially abused. I'm no fan of his, I think he's a loud mouth to be honest. But racially insulting this man, disproportionate to calling someone a coward.

It appears what has been said about Argentina and most of Argentines is true - that you are racist. How on earth would you want to blame Vini for scoring and dancing? It is not possible except you are an Argentine of a headless supporter of evil.
