Real Madrid center-back Raúl Asencio was convicted of drunk driving following an incident two weeks ago in his hometown of Gran Canaria. Authorities stopped Asencio at a routine checkpoint where his blood alcohol level measured 0.90 mg/l, exceeding the legal limit of 0.25 mg/l. An expedited trial in San Bartolomé de Tirajana resulted in a €14,400 fine and an eight-month suspension of his driver's license. The player was not involved in an accident or accused of reckless driving at the time of the stop. Asencio remains sidelined due to an injury sustained during Real Madrid's pre-season. He stayed with the club after unsuccessful attempts to secure a transfer for him during the summer window.
