UEFA memberikan hukuman larangan bermain sebanyak enam laga kepada gelandang Benfica Gianluca Prestianni usai dinyatakan bersalah telah menghina penyerang Real Madrid Vinicius Junior dalam playoff Liga Champions pada 17 Februari lalu.
GENEVA: Porto holding off Benfica in the Portuguese title race is a rivalry between André Villas-Boas and his one-time mentor José Mourinho. Porto have been revived in two years with Villas-Boas as president of his boyhood club that he coached to a league, cup and Europa League treble at age 33 in 2011. With four rounds left, Porto are seven points clear of Mourinho’s Benfica which are unbeaten in the domestic league yet could finish third, because Sporting are one point back with a game extra to play. Portugal is among the intriguing title races in Europe outside the big five soccer nations heading into the final stretch. Scotland has a tight three-way race with long-time leader Hearts seeking a first title for 66 years ahead of Rangers and Celtic. The remarkable run of newly promoted Thun could on Saturday seal a first Swiss title in the club’s 128-year history. The Turkish league looks set to elude Fenerbahce for a 12th straight year if Galatasaray avoid defeat in their Istanbul derby game on Sunday. Galatasaray lead by four points with four rounds left. Villas-Boas and Mourinho The precocious ability of André Villas-Boas saw him join José Mourinho’s coaching staff at age 24 at Porto — winning the UEFA Cup and Champions League in back-to-back seasons — then follow him to Chelsea and Inter Milan. Villas-Boas took his own coaching career on a similar path — Porto, then Chelsea, later Tottenham, Zenit St.

MADRID: Vinicius Junior scored the winner on the night as Real Madrid beat Benfica 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, progressing 3-1 on aggregate to the last 16. It was the Brazilian forward’s superb goal which separated the teams in a first leg marred by an incident of alleged racial abuse aimed at him by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni, who denies it. Jose Mourinho’s side were still alive in the play-off round tie and took the lead early on at the Santiago Bernabeu through Rafa Silva, although Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni swiftly levelled. Benfica gave the record 15-time champions a rough ride but fittingly Vinicius, who never hides from the spotlight, scored on 80 minutes to effectively end the contest. It was Portuguese coach Mourinho’s first time back at the Santiago Bernabeu since he coached Real Madrid from 2010-2013, but he could not lead his team from the dug-out because of suspension. After a week dominated by the fall-out from the first leg, Vinicius lined up for Real Madrid alongside Gonzalo Garcia, who stepped in for injured French superstar Kylian Mbappe. Benfica were without banned midfielder Prestianni, after an appeal against his provisional one-game sanction was turned down earlier on Wednesday, with UEFA still investigating the incident. Madrid hung a large banner reading “no to racism” at one end, with the game played under the shadow of what happened last week in Lisbon. There were boos for Vinicius from the visiting Benfica fans and he prodded wide in the early stages, appealing in vain for a penalty as Nicolas Otamendi collided with him after he got his shot away. Benfica took a deserved lead in the 14th minute as Madrid defender Raul Asencio clumsily turned the ball toward his own goal. Bel
