Benfica look to get on track with league game

Benfica Blog
After what has been a crazy 72 hours, Benfica look to turn their attention to Week 23 action against AVS at the Luz tomorrow before traveling to Madrid for the second leg of the Champions League playoff against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

The Lisbon club has come under increased scrutiny due to a launched UEFA investigation into winger Gianluca Prestianni who was accused by Vinicius Junior of saying a racist remark towards him. Prestianni has already presented his side of the story to UEFA investigators and a decision on the outcome of the investigation should come shortly.

Jose Mourinho spoke briefly with Benfica TV earlier today and says that the club is focused on this weekend's game with AVS but admitted that it has not been easy since the 51st minute on of the Real Madrid game both emotionally with what happened and what is still happening.
