Raúl Asencio, the New Idol of the Bernabéu
Neither Vinicius nor Mbappé: The Fans Chant His Name Non-Stop
The Santiago Bernabéu is echoing with chants tonight, but not for Vinicius Jr. or Kylian Mbappé. Instead, a new star has captured the hearts of the Madrid faithful during this Champions League clash against Manchester City.
Real Madrid is leading the match 2-0, thanks to a spectacular brace from Mbappé. The aggregate score now stands at 5-2. However, despite his two goals, Mbappé is not the most celebrated player on the pitch. The crowd has found a new hero: Raúl Asencio.
Asencio provided the assist for Mbappé’s first goal and has been instrumental in shutting down City’s attackers. His performance has been nothing short of outstanding. The first half of the match was a masterclass from Los Blancos, and the fans at the stadium made sure to express their admiration, chanting Asencio’s name in unison. He has not only won their affection but also established himself as a fan favorite.
Asencio Shines Again
This young player, who only recently started getting minutes this season, has quickly built a strong following. At just 22 years old and without prior first-team experience, he has delivered exceptional performances, proving his worth on the biggest stage.
In this match, he delivered yet another stunning long-range assist and nearly contributed another goal. His defensive solidity alongside Antonio Rüdiger is cementing his place as a key starter. His playing style and attitude even remind many of a young Sergio Ramos.
Tonight, the Santiago Bernabéu has spoken: Asencio is one of the standout figures of this match and the entire tie. He is undoubtedly a promising player for Real Madrid’s future. However, with the way he is playing at 22, he might just be on his way to becoming a legend.
