Raúl Asencio breaks the silence after his indictment: 'Today was the day...'

The young footballer started against Mallorca and after the match sent a message through his social media

The name Raúl Asencio has resonated strongly again, but this time not only for his performances at Real Madrid. The young defender, one of the pleasant surprises of the team this season, has found himself involved in a complicated legal situation.

Raúl Asencio and three youth players are charged with distributing sexual videos without the consent of minors. The accusations are serious: they could even face up to five years in prison for a possible child pornography offense. These situations damage the image and career of any athlete, especially if they are young.

Asencio's reaction

Amid all the controversy, Asencio decided not to engage in public debates or discussions about the case. After the match against Mallorca, where he was a starter and played an important role in the 2-1 victory, the defender used his Instagram profile to leave a message:

"Today was about focusing on the field, contributing to the team, and living up to the badge. Thanks to those who are and continue to trust."

He didn't speak about the trial or the charges, but he made it clear that his priority remains sports and performing on the field.

A complicated season for Madrid

The context is not easy for Real Madrid. The season has been marked by many absences and injuries, which has forced Carlo Ancelotti to give opportunities to young players from the youth academy like Asencio.

The defender has gradually earned a place in the first team, showing commitment and dedication in every match. His appearance in the starting eleven against Mallorca was no coincidence, but the result of hard work and the coach's trust.

The pressure of the environment

It is not easy for a young footballer to face such a serious accusation while keeping up sports performance. The public eye, the press, the fans, and the institution itself are watching how the case will unfold.

Despite everything, Asencio thanked his followers and those who continue to support him, showing the emotional weight of the situation.

What comes next?

The legal process will continue its course, and it will be in the courts where the truth of the facts will be determined. Meanwhile, Raúl Asencio and the other defendants face media and legal pressure, awaiting a resolution that will define their future.

In soccer, as in life, there are moments to fight on the field and others to face much more complex challenges. For now, Asencio has chosen to speak with his performance and move forward, knowing that "today was about" leaving everything on the field.
