Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni has been given a six-match ban by Uefa for discriminatory conduct towards Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior during a Champions League match in February, with three matches suspended for a period of two years.

The suspension comes after Prestianni racially abused Vinícius Júnior during the first leg of the Champions League playoff.

Vinícius accused Prestianni of ­subjecting him to racist abuse at the Estádio da Luz, with Kylian Mbappé alleging he had heard Prestianni call Vinícius a “monkey” five times.
