Real: Chilavert’s scandalous remarks about Vinicius and Mbappé!

Accused of racist insults by Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni was defended by former goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert. The Paraguayan made shameful remarks about the Brazilian and his teammate Kylian Mbappé.

Unacceptable comments… Following Real Madrid’s 1-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday, Madrid winger Vinicius Junior denounced racist insults from his Lisbon counterpart Gianluca Prestianni.

As the incident continues to make headlines, former goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert has spoken out in defence of the Argentine!

Chilavert criticises Vinicius and slips up on Mbappé

The Paraguayan, who has made several controversial statements in recent years, immediately criticised Vinicius’ behaviour. ‘I stand with Prestianni. Vinicius is the first to insult everyone. You saw the footage where he tells Prestianni: “Let go, let go!”’ he said.

Then, inexplicably, the former Strasbourg goalkeeper attacked Kylian Mbappé for supporting his teammate. “Mbappé talks about values and lives with a transgender person, that’s not normal. Everyone can do what they want with their life, but it’s not normal for a man to live with a transgender person, that’s a woman’s role,” Chilavert said. This was unacceptable transphobia and an attack on the French international based on fake news that had been circulating on social media…

Homophobic and misogynistic comments

Chilavert then went on to lament the ‘effeminate’ evolution of the world of football in a speech tinged with homophobia and misogyny. ‘Why would they sanction Prestianni? Such a sanction would give the impression that the LGBTQ+ community is a role model, which is not true! Football is a playground reserved for men, men who used to say all sorts of things to each other. Since the addition of microphones and cameras, football has become effeminate,’ he concluded. A real disgrace.
