Real Madrid clinched a dramatic win over RCD Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabéu, with a late goal from young defender Jacobo Ramón keeping the title race alive. While the team celebrated on the pitch, off the field, defender Raul Asencio also drew attention following an official statement from the Canary Islands.
Earlier in the day, Asencio featured for 64 minutes in the hard-fought match before being replaced by Jesús Vallejo due to injury. Meanwhile, news emerged regarding the conclusion of a long-standing investigation involving Asencio and three former academy players.
Court concludes investigation
Authorities in the Canary Islands announced that their investigation had reached its final phase, meaning the parties involved can now proceed based on legal procedures. The matter, which relates to alleged actions from previous years, has not resulted in formal charges at this stage. All individuals involved maintain their cooperation with legal authorities, and no final ruling has been made.
Asencio responds on social media
Following the match, Asencio shared a short message on his official X (Twitter) account:
“Today was about focusing on what’s happening on the pitch, supporting the team and living up to the badge. Thanks to those who continue to believe in us.”
Focus on football
The situation has drawn media attention in recent months, especially as Asencio’s role in the team has grown. Despite external pressure, the player remains focused and committed to his performances with the club.
Real Madrid, as an institution, continues to prioritize professionalism and respect both on and off the field, while trusting the appropriate legal channels to address any personal matters involving players.
