Trent and Mbappé Express Outrage, Condemn Player After Latest UCL Match

Trent and Mbappé express outrage, condemning a player after Real Madrid's away victory over Benfica in the UEFA Champions League.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kylian Mbappé, two players from the "Los Blancos" Real Madrid, criticized Giannluca Prestini, a Benfica player, for despicable behavior after he racially abused their teammate Vinícius Júnior, who scored the beautiful winning goal in Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Benfica in the UEFA Champions League knockout playoff first leg last night.

The match was halted for more than 10 minutes after Vinícius accused Benfica midfielder Prestini of racial abuse.

Trent said, "It is disgusting. What happened tonight is a disgrace to football. It ruined the team's night."

Mbappé said, "It is unacceptable that a player competing in Europe's top tournament behaves this way. This man does not deserve to play in the Champions League anymore."

Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouaméni, Real Madrid's French midfielder, confirmed after the game that Vinícius told him he was called a "monkey."
