<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/raul-asencio/">Raul Asencio</a> has found himself at the center of criticism following a string of costly mistakes during Real Madrid’s run in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/club-world-cup/">FIFA Club World Cup 2025</a>. After a humbling semifinal loss to Paris Saint-Germain and the official end of the 2024–25 campaign, the Spanish center back took to social media to apologize to fans for his underwhelming performances.



Los Blancos wrapped up a disappointing season with a heavy 4–0 defeat to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/paris-saint-germain/">PSG</a>, crashing out in the semifinal stage and falling short of their Club World Cup aspirations. Throughout the tournament, Asencio was in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, having made several high-profile errors that contributed to the team’s early exit.



Now on vacation, the 22-year-old defender addressed the backlash with a heartfelt message.. “Madridistas, this season comes to an end—one in which I fulfilled the dream of being part of the best club in the world, but that unfortunately ended in the way I least wanted,” he wrote on an Instagram post.



“I feel I didn’t live up to expectations in a Club World Cup that demanded the very best, but now it’s time to disconnect and recharge. Wishing you all a happy holiday—and now and always, HALA MADRID! Counting the days until I return to the Bernabe,” he concluded his message.

<h2>Asencio’s costly mistakes raise doubts over future role</h2>



<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/real-madrid/">Real Madrid</a> struggled to impose themselves in the early stages of the new era under Xabi Alonso, and the cracks widened in the semifinal clash against PSG. Chief among the concerns was the form of Raul Asencio, who looked shaky throughout the tournament.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="WST#/news/real-madrid-hero-thibaut-courtois-slams-raul-asencio-after-record-setting-red-card-vs-pachuca/"></div>


With Antonio Rudiger sidelined due to injury, Asencio was thrust into the starting lineup. In the opening match against Al Hilal, he conceded a penalty that allowed the Saudi side to equalize. Days later, in the second match against Pachuca, he was shown a straight red card for a last-man foul on striker Salomon Rondon just seven minutes into the game.



Suspended for the final group stage match against RB Salzburg, Asencio watched from the bench as Rudiger returned from injury and reclaimed his spot. The young Spaniard remained on the sidelines for the quarterfinal win over Juventus and the semifinal against Borussia Dortmund.



But when Dean Huijsen was suspended for the semifinal against PSG, Asencio was called back into the starting eleven—and it proved costly. Under pressure from Ousmane Dembele inside the box, Asencio lost possession, gifting PSG the opening goal and setting the tone for a one-sided affair.



With his confidence shaken and key errors piling up, Asencio’s future role under Alonso is now in question. The academy graduate will have to earn back trust as every decision—and every mistake—will be under close scrutiny heading into the 2025–26 season.

<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/real-madrid/">Real Madrid</a> picked up their first win at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 with a 3-1 victory over Pachuca at Hard Rock Stadium, despite being forced to play nearly the entire match with 10 men after Raul Asencio‘s early dismissal. The young defender faced sharp criticism, as Madrid star <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/thibaut-courtois/">Thibaut Courtois</a> didn’t hold back in his postgame comments.



After Asencio was sent off just seven minutes into the match, Real Madrid had to regroup quickly. Courtois rose to the occasion, delivering a standout performance with 10 saves to keep <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/pachuca/">Pachuca</a> from taking advantage of the numerical edge.



Speaking to DAZN at halftime, Courtois addressed the situation directly: “It’s two games and the same kind of mistake happened both times, which may be minor, but we have to be a bit smarter and avoid making those errors.”



In Madrid’s opening game against Al Hilal, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/raul-asencio/">Asencio</a> had already committed a costly foul, conceding a penalty that allowed the Saudi side to equalize. Now, his early red card has added another blemish to what has been a rough Club World Cup outing for the academy product.

Despite the pointed criticism, Courtois made it clear the team still stands behind their young defender. “He knows it, there’s no problem. We’re going to fight for him and win without him. And then, when he comes back, we’ll keep on winning,” the goalie ended.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="WST#/news/xabi-alonso-recovers-key-real-madrid-player-prior-to-fifa-club-world-cup-2025-game-vs-pachuca/"></div>


Asencio’s red card also set a new record: it’s now the earliest red card ever shown in the history of official intercontinental club competitions, in any format, dating back to their inception in July 1960. The previous record belonged to Matheus Pereira of Al Hilal, who was sent off in the 14th minute of the 2022 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/club-world-cup/">Club World Cup</a> third-place match.



<h2>Bellingham cools the situation down</h2>



Jude Bellingham, who was named Superior Player of the Match after scoring the opener in the 35th minute and anchoring Madrid’s midfield with only 10 men, offered a more measured take in his postgame press conference.



“It was a mistake by all of us. We were left a man down because a disadvantage arose and Asencio had to commit the foul. We knew how to adjust and turn the situation around,” he added, praising the team’s response under pressure. Now Real Madrid, placed at the top of Group H, will have to work on replacing Asencio for Matchday 3 against RB Salzburg.

<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/real-madrid/">Real Madrid</a> entered their Matchday 2 clash against Pachuca looking for their first win at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. But the Spanish giants were dealt a major early setback when defender <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/raul-asencio/">Raul Asencio</a> was sent off just minutes into the match.



The Spanish side made its tournament debut on Wednesday against Al Hilal. Without Kylian Mbappe on the field, Real Madrid struggled in Xabi Alonso’s first official match as head coach, managing only a 1-1 draw at Hard Rock Stadium. Now, against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/pachuca/">Pachuca</a>, they faced another early blow.



In the 7th minute, Luis Rodriguez launched a long ball into the box for striker Salomon Rondon to chase. As Rondon broke free on goal, Asencio pulled him down from behind to deny the Venezuelan a clear scoring opportunity. Referee Ramon Abatti had no hesitation, showing the Real Madrid defender a straight red card.

</div></figure>



With this, Asencio’s red card is the earliest ever in the entire history of official intercontinental club competitions (in any of their formats), since these tournaments began in July 1960. The previous record was a red card shown to Matheus Pereira (Al-Hilal) in the 14th minute of the third-place match at the 2022 Club World Cup.



<h2>Rudiger’s return incoming?</h2>



After Asencio was sent off, Alonso made no substitutions but reshuffled his players on the field. Shifting from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-1 formation, midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni dropped into central defense alongside Dean Huijsen, while Gonzalo Garcia remained the lone striker up front.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="WST#/news/why-isnt-kylian-mbappe-playing-for-real-madrid-against-pachuca-in-fifa-club-world-cup-2025/"></div>


With Asencio suspended for at least Matchday 3 against RB Salzburg, Real Madrid may turn to Antonio Rudiger to bolster the back line. The German defender underwent surgery in April to repair a partial tear of the lateral meniscus in his left knee, an injury that plagued him throughout the season.



Although Rudiger was named to the squad for the Pachuca match (currently on the subs bench), it will be up to Xabi Alonso to decide whether to risk his return or continue to ease him back for the incoming games of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/club-world-cup/">Club World Cup</a>, as he revealed on Saturday’s press conference.

In a squad boasting&nbsp;some of the most electrifying talents in world soccer, Real Madrid is no stranger to producing players with exceptional speed.&nbsp;Los Blancos’ <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/kylian-mbappe/">Kylian Mbappe</a> and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland dominate discussions about the fastest players in the UEFA Champions League – with Achraf Hakimi of Paris Saint-Germain and Rafael Leao of Milan also frequently making the list. Yet, in a surprising twist, a lesser-known Madrid player has now joined this elite group, ranking among the quickest in this season’s competition.



And no, it’s not&nbsp;Vinicius or Jude Bellingham. This unexpected name played a crucial role in&nbsp;Real Madrid’s dramatic Round of 16 clash against Atletico Madrid, helping&nbsp;prevent <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/Diego-Simeone/">Diego Simeone</a>’s side from taking an aggregate lead. His impact on the game was undeniable, and his defensive heroics have raised&nbsp;serious questions about Madrid’s summer transfer plans.



<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/raul-asencio/">Raul Asencio</a> has been one of Real Madrid’s biggest revelations this season.&nbsp;The 22-year-old academy graduate has seized every opportunity thrown his way since making his&nbsp;<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/la-liga/">La Liga</a> debut on November 9. Just a few days later, he was&nbsp;thrust into <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/champions-league/">Champions League</a> action at Anfield against Liverpool, where he showcased his composure under pressure.



Madrid fans were quick to notice something familiar about Asencio’s playing style. His aggressive yet intelligent defensive approach&nbsp;drew comparisons to club legend <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/sergio-ramos/">Sergio Ramos</a>, with his aerial dominance and ability to read the game marking him as a natural heir to the Madrid backline.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20250314_WST_559931_asencio-real-madrid-1200x675_b8c51d2f.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="asencio real madrid" class="wp-image-542676" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/12/05102749/asencio-real-madrid.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



With injuries plaguing Madrid’s defensive ranks, Asencio was&nbsp;given an even bigger responsibility in the second leg against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/atletico-madrid/">Atletico Madrid</a>. What followed was a performance that not only solidified his place in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans but also&nbsp;etched his name into Champions League history.



<h2>Record-breaking speed against Atletico Madrid</h2>



During Madrid’s second-leg battle at the Metropolitano, Asencio’s contribution went beyond his defensive awareness—he set a record-breaking sprint&nbsp;that shocked even his own teammates.



When the Red-Whites launched a dangerous counterattack,&nbsp;the Spaniard clocked a top speed of 22.2 mph (35.8 km/h), the fastest recorded by a center-back in this season’s Champions League. In that moment, he showed not just his defensive instincts but also&nbsp;his elite athleticism, as he raced back to thwart the move.



“At the Metropolitano, he reached the fastest maximum speed for a center-back in the Champions League this season,”&nbsp;UEFA confirmed, highlighting just how impressive the young defender’s pace is.

<h2>Among Europe’s fastest: Asencio joins Haaland and Mbappe</h2>



With his remarkable sprint,&nbsp;Asencio entered the top 10 fastest players of the 2024-25 Champions League season. The list features some of soccer’s most devastating runners:



<ol><li><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/erling-haaland/">Erling Haaland</a> (22.7 mph / 36.6 km/h)&nbsp;– The Manchester City striker continues to dominate in terms of pure acceleration.</li><li>Achraf Hakimi (22.7 mph / 36.6 km/h)&nbsp;– PSG’s flying full-back remains one of the most explosive defenders in the game.</li><li>Kylian Mbappe (22.6 mph / 36.4 km/h)&nbsp;– No surprise here, as the Real Madrid forward is a constant menace in transition.</li><li>Raul Asencio (22.2 mph / 35.8 km/h)&nbsp;– The fastest center-back in the competition this season.</li></ol>



Among the ones he outran in the rankings?&nbsp;Atletico’s Giuliano Simeone (22.2 mph / 35.7 km/h) and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/rafael-leao/">Rafael Leao</a> (22.1 mph / 35.5 km/h)—two players known for their incredible pace.

Real Madrid’s surprise entry joins Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland among UEFA Champions League top speedsters

Wednesday saw the debut of a youthful talent for Real Madrid’s matchday squad against Deportivo Alaves. The player was likely rejoicing in the significant accomplishment.



What is more, injuries prevented Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy from joining <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a>‘s Thursday trip to Alaves. To that end, Carlo Ancelotti added four youngsters to the matchday roster in response to the news. One of them was Raul Asencio, who would have played in <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/where-to-watch-la-liga-on-us-tv-and-internet/">LaLiga</a> with Real Madrid for the first time in his career.



Real Madrid cut the Castilla player from the squad. He will not travel with the rest of the squad at all, as per <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2023/12/21/658453ecca474160108b456f.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marca</a>.



<h2>Why did Real Madrid remove the youngster from of squad?</h2>



Mario Cortegana of <a href="https://twitter.com/MarioCortegana/status/1737867728180986218" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Athletic</a> claims that the 20-year-old had a court appearance scheduled over a sex scandal, which is the reason for this. This teenage defender is one of four Castilla players who were allegedly taken into custody for allegedly filming and uploading a pornographic movie with one of their players and a young lady.



The identities of the players involved have been hidden by Real Madrid up until this point. However, the Spanish media have learned about the tale because of Asencio’s noticeable absence from the team.



Throughout the Primera Federacion this season, the 20-year-old Asencio has been a mainstay for Raul’s young squad, making 14 appearances. Though his natural position is that of a center defender, Asencio can fill in at full-back if needed.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20231222_WST_479293_Raul-Asencio-1200x675_157cb41c.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-479344" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/12/Raul-Asencio-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/12/Raul-Asencio-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/12/Raul-Asencio-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/12/Raul-Asencio.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



<h2>Raul Asencio involved in sex tape case outside Real Madrid</h2>



Though Asencio isn’t exactly a household name outside of Real Madrid, he made the news earlier this season for all the wrong reasons. This year, rumors surfaced that he and three other youth players were under investigation by the authorities for their alleged roles in the spread of a sex tape video.



The incident, according to Spanish outlet <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-primera/oportunidad-asencio-halagos-real-madrid-20231220161810-nt.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Relevo</a>, allegedly included a minor. Authorities are still looking into the matter. That rules out any chance of Asencio making his Real Madrid debut anytime soon.



An event that occurred in the Canary Islands over the summer. Asencio joined three other players from Los Blancos’ junior systems as defendants. Two girls, one of whom is underage, are suing the four players. The girls allege the four players made sexually explicit videos without their consent.



September was when the girl’s mother notified the Guardia Civil of the probable criminal act. According to the overage victim’s anonymous testimony, they believe they are immune to the law since they are a player from the Spanish giants.



But, not all four Real Madrid players facing charges will be cooperating with authorities, according to the latest information. <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/canteranos-madrid-acusados-difundir-video-20231222123520-nt.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Relevo</a> claims that neither Ferran R. nor Juan R. spoke with the police about what happened.



Even though it was only in response to inquiries from their attorneys, Raul A. (whom they claimed to be Raul Asencio) and Andres G. did so. Even after consulting with attorneys, the first two chose to remain silent. Thus, the Whites had Asencio on the roster to play Alaves. He never featured because of his role in this case.
