Kompany condemns Mourinho's remarks as a 'huge mistake' in Vinicius racism row
Real Madrid beat Benfica 1-0 in the Champions League with Vinicius Jr scoring; the match halted for 10 minutes after alleged racist abuse by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni, now under UEFA investigation. Mourinho’s post-match comments accusing Vinicius of disrespect were slammed by Bayern boss Vincent Kompany as an 'unacceptable, huge mistake' and for invoking Eusebio; Kompany drew on his own experiences with racism and urged leaders to handle such issues better. Benni McCarthy suggested Mourinho should have chosen his words more carefully, Vinicius called racists cowards on Instagram, Prestianni denies directing the abuse, Benfica defends him, and a potential 10-match ban looms for the winger if found guilty.
