The Benfica manager, José Mourinho, stated that he spoke with Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. after the match was stopped due to alleged racist insults from Prestianni. He asked the forward why he celebrated his winning goal the way legends like Di Stéfano, Pelé, and Eusébio did. "I told him, 'You've scored a goal from another world, why are you celebrating it like that?'" Mourinho said, as reported by Marca. "It's the only thing that doesn't make sense to me," the coach added at the post-match press conference.
