· Yahoo Sports
The manner in which Benfica have handled the entire racism saga that unfolded at their home stadium last week has been appalling, to say the least.

Instead of calling out their player for insulting Vinicius Jr. on the field, they have gone on to defend him and claim that the Real Madrid star is fabricating his side of the story, and it is clear that their stance has not gone down well globally.
Further, even Benfica manager Jose Mourinho did not show any signs of admitting that his player was wrong and even went on to blame Vinicius Jr. for his celebration on the night.
Vini is hurt
As relayed byEl Chiringuito in a recent report, Vinicius Jr is deeply hurt by how Mourinho handled the entire situation. He is very angry at the former Real Madrid manager.
The winger was shocked to hear Mourinho’s words after the game and believes that his statements were a form of justification for an unacceptable act by his player on the field. After all, there is no valid justification for racist abuse.

He also considers it repulsive that Mourinho saw his celebration to be an equally important issue as the racist comments from Prestianni and rightfully believes that the manager should have been more mature with his comments after the game.
“I don’t want to be biased and say that I believe Prestianni 100%, but neither do I want to be biased and say that what Vinicius tells me is the truth,” Mourinho said after the game.
“I spoke to Alvaro before I knew there was a problem. It was to ask him why he was acting silly after scoring an incredible goal,” he added on Vinicius.
Looking back at Mourinho’s post-game statements, it comes as no surprise that the Real Madrid star is fuming at the Special One.
The Benfica manager has drawn backlash from the footballing fraternity for his comments, which came across as completely hypocritical and insensitive.
