MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – For the second leg of the Champions League play-offs between Real Madrid and Benfica at the Bernabeu Stadium, Merengues fans are ready to display, through mosaics created by organized groups, messages in support of the fight against racism.
“No to racism” and “respect,” according to Marca, were the words of support from Madrid fans for Vinicius Jr., who, during the first leg, was allegedly subjected to a racist insult by Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni, who is accused of tagging him with the word “monkey.”
For the Bernabeu match, 4,000 fans are expected to be in the away section, with the match taking place in a packed stadium. The match is rated as “high risk,” a standard practice for every Champions League match in the Spanish capital.
