Real Madrid open disciplinary proceedings against Asencio

Real Madrid has initiated disciplinary proceedings against defender Raul Asencio, who was recently convicted of drink-driving in Gran Canaria. The 23-year-old was more than three times over the legal limit during the August 16 incident and was fined €14,400 and had his driving licence suspended for eight months. Asencio is also set to face another court case this week, involving the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video from 2023.

He is expected to be cleared if the two young women, aged 16 and 18, who were filmed, formally forgive him. Three former Real Madrid reserve players are also on trial for allegedly recording and distributing the video. This week, Asencio is due to face another court case in Gran Canaria, involving the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video dating back to 2023.
