The UEFA Disciplinary Commission has made a firm decision following the incidents that occurred during the last European match between Benfica and Real Madrid.
The young Argentine winger Gianluca Prestianni has been provisionally suspended for one match following an investigation opened for alleged racist insults against Vinicius Jr.
This decision follows reports written by the match referee and UEFA delegates, who reported unsportsmanlike behavior in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms.
Although the sanction is provisional, the European body wishes to react quickly to any sign of discriminatory behavior in its official competitions.
Benfica seeks to mitigate the sanction
The Portuguese club hopes to present its arguments within the next 48 hours in an attempt to reduce or cancel the sanction before its next international match.
UEFA will continue to analyze video evidence to determine if the sanction should be made definitive or increased. This decision sets a precedent for UEFA's swift action in the face of such incidents.
