Champions League: Courtois stands up for Vinicius against racism ahead of the return match

Thibaut Courtois defends Vinicius Jr ahead of the Champions League playoff return match between Real Madrid and Benfica. In a press conference, he strongly condemns racism and homophobia following the suspension of Gianluca Prestianni for alleged insults towards his teammate. UEFA has suspended the Argentine for one match after accusations of racist remarks during the first leg in Lisbon. Prestianni denies the allegations, claiming that Vinicius misunderstood him, while Aurélien Tchouaméni reveals that the Argentine confided in him that he used a homophobic remark. Courtois emphasizes, "It's just as serious." He also mentions unacceptable behavior from Benfica supporters. The return match promises to be intense, Wednesday at 9 PM.
