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.\n\nAsencio is also due to face another court case in Gran Canaria, involving the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video dating back to 2023.\n\nReal Madrid coach Jose Mourinho expressed disappointment, stating that while everyone makes mistakes, repeated incidents can have a greater impact, and that players must represent the club well both on and off the pitch.",
