Real Madrid’s Asencio convicted of drink-driving

Dubai - Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has been convicted of drunk driving, adding to his ongoing legal troubles. According to Canarias 7, the 23-year-old was caught driving a Porsche while intoxicated in Southern Gran Canaria in August last year. His blood alcohol level was found to be 0.90 mg/L, far exceeding the legal limit of 0.25 mg/L. As a result, Asencio was fined €14,400 and had his driver's license suspended for eight months. The incident occurred on August 16th, 2022.

In a separate incident from 2023, Asencio and his three friends are set to appear in court this week. They are facing trial for the non-consensual dissemination of videos showing obscene acts involving two women. Asencio, now 23 years old, hopes to overcome the burden of his past actions, but personal challenges continue to mount.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has already informed Asencio that he is not part of his plans, despite rumors of a potential transfer this summer. Asencio has also expressed concerns over his shin problems, which may sideline him for six to eight weeks due to surgery.
