"Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni has been provisionally suspended for one game by UEFA, ruling him out of the Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday night. Prestianni was accused of making a racist remark towards Madrid winger Vinícius Jr in the first leg of their play-off tie in Lisbon last Tuesday. UEFA opened an investigation and its inspector has ruled the interim findings require keeping the Argentine out of the return at the Santiago Bernabeu."
"and upon request of the EDI with an interim report, the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) today decided to provisionally suspend Mr. Gianluca Prestianni for the next (1) UEFA club competition match for which he would otherwise be eligible for the prima facie violation of Article 14 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations (DR) related to a discriminatory behaviour."
Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni has been provisionally suspended for one match by UEFA and will miss the Champions League return at Real Madrid. Prestianni was accused of making a racist remark towards Real Madrid winger Vinícius Jr during the first leg in Lisbon.

A full investigation and disciplinary process remain ongoing. Prestianni has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. The decision is likely to anger Benfica and the player.
