For a start, instead of talking about his frankly incredible match-winning goal, weβre instead talking about the fact heβs been racially abused whilst at work.

It's vile that Mark Clattenburg still hasn't apologized for blaming Vinicius for his own racist abuse. Amazon Prime hasn't put out a statement distancing themselves from his on-air comments either.
As for Mourinho, I doubt there's anyone in Benfica's hierarchy that can force an apology out of him.

Mourinho was merely stating Vin Jr there is always drama and he is correct. Johan, Southampton Right now, it's a 'he said"'she said' kinda situation, until it's been thoroughly investigated, there should be no lighting of the torches and arming of the pitchforks, there needs to calm and not kneejerk reactionary behaviour. Will B, Newcastle People need to wait until the facts are known. Right now we have two players saying different things and we don't know which one is telling the truth. Prestianni has denied the claims so let's see if he is telling the truth before condemning him. Derek, UK
Predictable to see texts like this being βrandomlyβ selected by the BBC. Classic βwell weβll never knowβ and βbest let this blow overβ BS. Racism is everywhere but CL reminds me in Europe itβs open and proud. Clattenburg should simply be sacked, heβs fucking awful at the best of times. Genuine prick
