"Gianluca Prestianni has been handed a six-game suspension by UEFA for directing a homophobic slur towards Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has taken the decision to suspend Prestianni for a total of six matches for discriminatory conduct, with three matches subject to a probationary period of two years."
"The investigation revealed that Aurelien Tchouameni heard a homophobic slur used by Prestianni during the Champions League play-off match. Prestianni's denial of wrongdoing contrasts with the findings of the investigation, which led to the disciplinary proceedings against him."
"The suspension could significantly reduce Prestianni's chances of being selected for the World Cup, as Argentina has no upcoming matches before the tournament. If selected, he could miss the first two games in the United States, Canada, and Mexico."
Gianluca Prestianni, a forward for Benfica, has been suspended for six matches by UEFA for directing a homophobic slur at Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. Initially accused of a racial remark, Prestianni denied wrongdoing, but Aurelien Tchouameni confirmed hearing the slur. Of the six-game suspension, three matches are suspended for two years, and one has already been served. This suspension may impact Prestianni's chances of selection for the World Cup, as FIFA is urged to apply the punishment to international matches.
