Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa told Amazon Prime about the incident with Vinicius Junior: “Ask the Benfica players. That’s not a question for me.”

As for whether it was because of what Vinicius Jr. was allegedly told: “Yes. I think everyone can see what happened to Prestiani. He put the shirt in his mouth. Now you have to ask him.”

About what Vinicius Jr. told him: “What Vini said is not important. I think we need to fight racism. That is the most important thing in football right now. Of course we support Vini now, but now we have to ask them.”

“Of course we have to fight this kind of attitude and focus on football, but first we have to fight something like that. We have to fight, especially football players. It’s difficult if we don’t respect each other.”

On whether Vinicius Jr. needs to be persuaded to return: “We talked to him. He wanted to play, he wanted to help the team. He wanted to stay on the field, and we will fight to the end.”
