Story byFIFA approve plans to introduce “Vinicius Junior law” before 2026 World CupFootball EspanaSun, March 1, 2026 at 2:35 AM UTC·2 min readReal Madrid and Vinicius Junior have been widely spoken about in recent weeks, largely due to the ongoing case with Gianluca Prestianni, who has been accused of racially abusing the 25-year-old during the first leg of Los Blancos’ Champions League play-off tie victory over Benfica. The matter is still ongoing, with UEFA currently investigating the incident. In the meantime, Prestianni has been suspended by UEFA, which meant he missed the second leg clash between the sides on Wednesday. Both he and Benfica have denied claims that he called Vinicius a monkey, and with pitchside audio not picking up any of the dialogue between the players, it will be difficult for conclusive proof to be found.
