Real Madrid sit on top of their group in the FIFA Club World Cup and their recent win over Pachuca had a big part to play in helping them reach the favourable position. After all, they dropped points against Al-Hilal on match-day 1.
The story, however, could well have been drastically different had they lost to the Mexican side and it did not seem a distant possibility after Raul Asencio saw an early red card on the night.
Taking to his social media after Real Madrid’s win over Pachuca and the backlash around his performance, the young defender put out a genuine apology for his level and insisted that he will come back stronger after his suspension.
“It’s not being the start of the competition I wanted but I have no doubt I’ll turn it around,” he wrote.
“It’s time to work even harder to continue growing. Thank you, everyone, for your messages,” he added, thanking fans for their support in this difficult moment.
