Real Madrid open disciplinary proceedings against Asencio

Real Madrid has opened disciplinary proceedings against defender Raul Asencio. He was convicted of drink-driving in August and fined €14,400, with his driving licence suspended for eight months, according to a court source cited by Free Malaysia Today and Ghanaian Times. The incident occurred on August 16 in Gran Canaria, and Asencio was more than three times over the legal limit.

Asencio is also due to face another court case in Gran Canaria this week, involving the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video dating back to 2023, as reported by Free Malaysia Today and Ghanaian Times. According to Ghanaian Times, three former Real Madrid reserve players are also on trial for allegedly recording and distributing the video, with a trial scheduled for September 3, 4, and 7.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho expressed disappointment with Asencio's actions, stating that as a Real Madrid player, he represents the club 24 hours a day and that his actions outside of football can affect the club's prestige, as quoted by Free Malaysia Today.
