Mbappe calls for Prestianni ban over alleged racist slur at Vinicius

Kylian Mbappé has urged UEFA to ban Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni from the Champions League after allegations he aimed a racist slur at Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior during Tuesday’s 1-0 playoff first-leg win. The incident adds fresh pressure on European football’s disciplinary bodies to move from fines to meaningful sporting sanctions when racism is alleged.
