– English star Joe Cole spoke about the racist incident involving Benfica player Gianluca Prestiani against Vinicius Junior in the match between them in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Cole said: “It’s a cowardly gesture. Any conversation that takes place on the pitch where a player puts his hand over his mouth should result in the referee immediately showing a red card. These actions must stop, then things like this won’t happen.”
