The Benfica player was given a six-match suspension, with three games suspended and one already served after a provisional suspension was imposed.

The Brazil winger alleged he was racially abused during the Champions League last 32 match in Lisbon on February 17.

Portuguese media had reported the Argentinian winger had confessed his guilt to the rest of the squad.

Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni – who allegedly racially abused the Brazilian in the first leg – was suspended for the return game.

Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni denied allegations made by the Real Madrid star but has been handed a one-game provisional ban.

Vinicius reported an alleged racist comment while playing for Real Madrid against Benfica this week in the Champions League.
