Real Madrid defender Raul Asensio did not leave the team and took part in the match in Greece, despite his grandfather passing away a day before the game.
Idman.Biz reports that no one in the club knew about the footballer’s personal tragedy. Asensio only revealed the news after the match in a story on his social media account.
According to media reports, the Spanish club’s coach Xabi Alonso faced a shortage of central defenders, so Raul Asensio chose not to skip the trip and prioritized helping his team. His participation in the match was praised by both teammates and fans as a notable example of determination.
