Asencio's Clash With Haaland, the Youth Player Doesn't Back Down, the Referee Intervenes

Real Madrid is currently losing 2-1 after Haaland scored a strict penalty committed by Ceballos.

Before this, Raúl Asencio and Haaland had a confrontation in the second half. Haaland grabbed the youth player's jersey, and he pushed him away. With this, we see that Asencio never backs down, not even against one of the best forwards in the world.

The referee, meanwhile,  had to warn the players so that this wouldn't escalate further.  It's known that the youth player has an enviable personality, and because of this, he has stood out despite his youth. This while facing one of the best forwards in the world, whom he has been able to stop on important occasions.

Asencio Doesn't Fear Haaland

The Norwegian can be quite intimidating due to his height, build, and especially his great scoring abilities against the best teams in the world. Nevertheless, the youth player went straight to perform the task he had to do, which was to stop him.

While physical issues could be considered a significant disadvantage, the reality is that this hasn't been seen. In fact, the youth player seems to have been much more comfortable than expected against a Haaland under all the pressure.

Although the Norwegian scored twice, one from a penalty and another from a lapse, the youth player stopped him significantly.  Beyond that, despite his youth, he has everything necessary to be a reference in the white defense. For many, even a successor to someone like Sergio Ramos.
