Lukebakio Adds his Voice to Prestianni’s Racism Allegations: “All Injustice Deserves Consequences”
Belgian winger Dodi Lukebakio has weighed in on the growing controversy surrounding his Benfica teammate, Gianluca Prestianni, stating firmly that racism and injustice have no place in football.
Prestianni has been at the center of allegations following reports that he allegedly racially abused Vinícius Júnior during a heated UEFA Champions League playoff clash between SL Benfica and Real Madrid CF last week.
Reacting to the situation, Lukebakio did not hold back, making his stance clear on the matter.
“I hope that Prestianni did not say that. Because if it’s true, I will not accept it,” he stated.
“I’m against injustice. All injustice deserves consequences.”
The strong remarks underline the seriousness of the allegations and reflect the broader football community’s zero-tolerance approach toward racism.
While investigations are still ongoing, Lukebakio’s comments add to the mounting calls for accountability should the claims be proven true.
Gianluca Prestianni has been suspended meaning he will not be available for the return leg at the Bernabeu with Real Madrid holding a slim 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Lisbon.
