The atmosphere surrounding the match at the Estadio da Luz has remained toxic, with reports suggesting senior Madrid figures, including Kylian Mbappe, have demanded a total competition ban for Prestianni. Navas echoed this sentiment, arguing that intentional discrimination cannot be dismissed as a momentary lapse in judgment.
The 39-year-old shot-stopper believes that only severe sanctions will act as a true deterrent. For Navas, these outbursts reveal a deeper character flaw that football must address aggressively to protect its players.
"I don't know what the fair punishment will be, but there should be something," the Costa Rican explained. "It is necessary to have a strong punishment for the people who make mistakes intentionally. That is not an occasional mistake but a thought that is carried inside and when one feels attacked, they bring it to light. He should have a punishment to prevent this from happening again."
