Real Madrid star spotted in attendance at reserve team fixture | OneFootball

A leading member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid on Friday took time out of his schedule to watch the club’s next generation of stars.

The player in question? Raúl Asencio.

Stopper Asencio is for his part currently in the thick of final preparations for a return to action this weekend.

After being forced to make do with a place on the bench in Real Madrid’s La Liga season opener against Osasuna, the 22-year-old will no doubt be hopeful of playing his part this Sunday, against Real Oviedo.

Asencio, in turn, took full part in the latest training session held by Xabi Alonso at Valdebebas on Friday morning.

As alluded to above, though, in the aftermath of as much, the Spaniard took some time to watch Real Madrid Castilla in action.

As showcased in the footage below, Asencio was spotted in the stands for Los Blancos’ reserve team’s friendly meeting with Alcorcón.

The clash ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw.
