Responding in the early hours of this morning, Prestianni stated on social media: “If so many people are saying that I supposedly made a racist comment to Vinicius Junior, why didn't anyone react?
"Accusing someone of something serious isn't right, especially when it's not true.
"And everyone's pointing the finger at me because I cover my face with my shirt when they know that all the players cover their faces when they speak. Stop making things up."
At 2:40 a.m., the club shared Prestianni's words on their Instagram account, showing their unwavering support with the message "together, by your side".
