UEFA investigating alleged racist abuse directed at Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior
UEFA has appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector after allegations a racist slur was directed at Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior during last night's Champions League match against Benfica.
The match, in Lisbon, Portugal, was halted five minutes into the second half, shortly after Vinicius gave the away side a 1-0 lead in the first leg of the knockout playoffs.
