Raul Asensio, the young defender of Real Madrid, sent a sincere message to the fans of the Royal Club after the harsh exit from the 2025 Club World Cup semi -finals, based on his failure to provide the expected level during the world championship held in the United States of America.
A shocking farewell from the World Cup
Real Madrid bid farewell to the championship after a painful loss against Paris Saint -Germain with a clean quadruple, in a meeting hosted by the “Metlive” stadium, and witnessed a faded performance from the entire team, and in particular from the young defender Raul Asensio, who was subjected to sharp criticism on social media for his performance in this decisive match.
A message via “Instagram”
Through his official account on “Instagram”, Asensio wrote to the Merinji fans: “Madridista, the season in which my dream was achieved to play for the best club in the world is about to end, but it ended in a way that I did not expect.” The player acknowledged that he was not at the level of aspirations during the Club World Cup, stressing the importance of rest today in order to return strongly. He concluded his message by saying: “Hala Madrid … I return the days until I return to the Bernabeu in the new season.”
From Castia to glory
Asensio, 22, is considered one of the most prominent rising talents at the Real Madrid Academy “Castilla”, and he succeeded in obtaining the confidence of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti during the past season, which gave him the opportunity to be permanently with the first team.
Simple numbers
Asensio participated in 23 games with Real Madrid during the Spanish Premier League competitions for the 2024/2025 season, and managed to make only one goal. Despite the limited offensive numbers, his presence in the defensive system was remarkable in some periods, before his mass image was shaken after the declining performance in the world championship.
