Real Madrid has submitted all available evidence to UEFA regarding an alleged racist insult directed at Vinicius Jr during a Champions League match against Benfica.

The club stated it has collaborated with UEFA's investigation into the alleged racist incidents that occurred during the match, without detailing the evidence provided.

UEFA has appointed a special investigator to collect evidence concerning the events in Lisbon on Tue, Feb 18, 2026, where Madrid secured a 1-0 victory against Benfica in the first leg of the knockout round of the Champions League.

Vinicius Jr accused Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni of using a racial slur after the Brazilian scored the match's only goal. Prestianni, who was seen covering his mouth with his shirt during the alleged incident, has denied the accusations and maintained his stance.
