Real Madrid's Champions League playoff first leg at Benfica was suspended for 11 minutes on Tuesday after their Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr accused the home side's Argentine winger Gianluca Prestianni of directing a racist slur at him, Reuters reported. 

The alleged incident occurred shortly after Vinicius had fired Real ahead five minutes into the second half with a stunning strike at Lisbon's Estadio da Luz.

As the Brazilian celebrated, television pictures showed a heated exchange between him and Prestianni, according to Reuters.
