Raúl Asencio, central defender of Real Madrid, was convicted for driving under the influence. The sentence includes a fine of 14,400 euros and eight months of suspension of the driving licence.

The player admitted having driven under the influence in Gran Canaria. The trial took place weeks before another legal proceeding against the player.

Asencio recognized the facts before the court, which may have influenced the faster resolution of the case. This conviction comes at a time when the defender is involved in legal issues related to other incidents.
