Asencio cleared of sex video charges but faces Real Madrid disciplinary action over DUI
Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio was acquitted on Thursday of charges related to sharing a sex video without consent after the two women involved told the judge they had forgiven him and his former teammates. Asencio thanked Real Madrid and his supporters on Instagram, calling the process difficult. However, his future at the club remains uncertain because manager Jose Mourinho announced on the same day that Real Madrid has opened a disciplinary proceeding against Asencio following a DUI conviction. Asencio has not played for Real Madrid this season due to a muscle injury. The acquittal clears him of criminal liability, but the internal disciplinary process could result in fines, suspension, or other sanctions that affect his availability for matches. For Nigerian fans who follow Real Madrid, this raises questions about squad depth and whether Asencio will be fit and eligible to contribute in upcoming La Liga and Champions League fixtures. His absence due to injury already limits his impact, and any disciplinary outcome could further limit his role. Will you continue to support Asencio despite his off-field issues, or should you adjust your expectations for his contributions to the team this season?
