Real Sociedad Fans Direct Threats Toward Raúl Asensio

Real Madrid midfielder Raúl Asensio is facing serious legal issues due to an investigation regarding the publication of intimate videos. This situation has created an unfriendly atmosphere for him during away games with Los Blancos.

Details: Recently, offensive chants aimed at Asensio, including “Asensio, die,” were heard again at Real Sociedad’s stadium. These chants had previously disrupted a cup match on February 26. Last Saturday, during a league match where Los Blancos won 2-1, the game went on despite the ongoing abuse from the crowd.

Unlike referee José María Sánchez Martínez, who stopped play in February due to similar chants, referee Jesús Gil Manzano did not pause the match or mention the incident in his report. This omission, despite being recorded by cameras, has raised questions about why it was not noted by the referee.

Reminder: The match also included several contentious decisions, particularly the red card issued to Dean Huijsen, which Real manager Xabi Alonso addressed in his comments after the game. Read more about Alonso’s views on the refereeing situation.
