Vinícius Júnior Could Be Lying About Racist Abuse – Mourinho

Benfica football club has said that Real Madrid players couldn’t have heard the alleged racist abuse towards Vinícius Júnior. The club recently had its say via its official X account, and fans have been reacting.

According to Benfica, Vini’s teammates could not have heard the alleged incident like some of them have been suggesting, because images on the pitch showed otherwise.

It read, “As the images demonstrate, given the distance, the Real Madrid players could not have heard what they claim to have heard.”

Mourinho added that while he cannot support Prestianni completely, he also cannot conclude that Vini was telling the truth.

His words, “Vinícius says one thing, and Prestianni says another. I don’t want to say that I 100% support Prestianni, but I also can’t say that what Vinícius told me is the truth. I can’t, I don’t know.”

WOW.

Jose Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.

Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.

His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
