Jose Luis Chilavert, a Paraguayan goalkeeper who played for Real Zaragoza from 1988 to 1991, has had Vinicius in his sights since 2024 ("Don't be a faggot, football is for men"). Taking advantage of Vinicius' complaint against Gianluca Prestianni, whom he accuses of calling him a monkey during the Champions League match that Real Madrid won 1-0 against Benfica, the 60-year-old former footballer defended the Argentine Prestianni in controversial statements he made on Radio Rivadavia: "I sympathize with Prestianni because Vinicius is the first to insult everyone. If you look at the camera, before he says 'cagon'. The first insult came from the black-skinned player." Vinícius Jr. also faced these despicable racist gestures from Benfica fans Chilavert defends Prestianni: "It would give rise to the gay community being the example" The Paraguayan encouraged Benfica to protect Prestianni and defended that UEFA should not sanction the Argentine. According to Chilavert, if they sanction Prestianni "it would lead to the gay, lesbian and company community being the example to follow. And no, football is a rectangle where men play and where we used to say everything to each other. Since they put the microphone and the video is gay". Vinicius was discriminating. Does he want whites to live badly? Chilavert "The problem is very deep: the world we live in today has little memory. There was a match between Brazil and Spain in which a Netflix camera was filming Vinicius and he said crying that he would like a football in which black people can live better. He himself was discriminating. Does he want white people to live badly?" said the Paraguayan, who stressed that all racist incidents in football "are born in Europe". Jose Luis Chilavert: "Mbappe talks about values and lives with a transvestite" Mbappe defended his teammate Vinicius on the pitch and claimed that Prestianni called the Brazilian a monkey five times: "What can he say? Mbappe talks about values and all that, but he lives with a transvestite. 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 transvestite. The best thing you can have next to you is a woman." I sympathize with Prestianni because Vinicius is the first to insult everyone Chilavert The former Zaragoza player, who was capped 74 times by Paraguay, was referring to model Ines Rau, with whom Mbappe was linked in 2022.
