Real Madrid players call out racial abuse following last night's clash with Benfica

Vinicius Junior has called racists "cowards" after he was allegedly abused during Real Madrid's 1-nil win at Benfica.

He briefly left the pitch after reporting Gianluca Prestianni, with the Champions League match paused for ten minutes under UEFA protocol.

The Brazilian has been subjected to racism on numerous occasions during his career.
