Raul Asencio targeted by Athletic Club fans' whistles amid ongoing police investigation
Raul Asencio faced an unexpected reaction from Athletic Club fans during their 2-1 win over Real Madrid at San Mames. While players like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are accustomed to being targeted due to their star status, the whistles directed at the Castilla defender surprised many.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the attention stems from an investigation opened last summer involving five Real Madrid academy players. The players are accused of distributing a video containing inappropriate content.
Asencio, who was reportedly not involved in recording the video, is still under suspicion for sharing it.
Real Madrid have refrained from making any public statements about the case. In the meantime, three of the players implicated have left the club.
