Former Benfica Captain Reacts

Luisao, a legendary figure from Benfica who dedicated 15 years to the club, took to social media to share his views on the recent uproar involving Argentine player Prestianni and the incident with Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.

Strong Comments on Social Media

In his statement, Luisao was not satisfied with Prestianni’s explanation regarding the situation, asserting, “This shirt holds immense significance; I cherish Benfica as if it were my own skin. One must earn the right to wear this revered jersey, and frankly, this message only exacerbates the situation because it is misleading.”

He firmly believed, “Football is achieved through determination and a warrior’s spirit. He was indeed racist, and I feel embarrassed about it.”

Luisao elaborated further, addressing responses from fans, “I stand by the club and speak from a wealth of experience. I’m not judging anyone but emphasizing that Benfica is far too significant to be embroiled in controversies, regardless of truthfulness. Based on my experiences, I know what I speak of.”
