Bayern Munich manager, Vincent Kompany, has told his Benfica counterpart, Jose Mourinho, that he made a “huge mistake” during the alleged racist incident involving Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.
Vinicius claimed he was racially abused by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni during their Champions League play-off in midweek.
The incident happened after the Brazilian winger scored the only goal of the game.
After the match, Mourinho suggested Vinicius provoked the home fans with his celebration following the goal.
But Kompany told the media today: “You have the leader of an organisation, Jose Mourinho, who attacks the character of Vinicius Jr by bringing in the type of celebration to discredit what Vinicius is doing in this moment.
“In terms of leadership, it’s a huge mistake and something we should not accept.”
