The Real Madrid boss is unhappy, and he has said so in no uncertain terms.<\/p>\n<p>Asencio was fined and handed an eight-month driving ban after a drunk-driving conviction. He registered 0.90 mg\/litre of alcohol, well over the 0.25 mg\/litre legal limit in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old accepted the offence in a fast-track trial and will pay \u20ac14,400.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2287605802-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Real Madrid Training Session\" \/>Photo by LOF\/BSR Agency\/Getty ImagesMourinho\u2019s warning to Asencio<\/p>\n<p>Speaking ahead of the La Liga clash with Real Betis, Mourinho did not hide his frustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am not happy with Raul Asencio,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He is a great professional, no one trained like him. But a Real Madrid player is always a Real Madrid player. Even off the pitch.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What you do outside, hurts the image of the club. What I\u2019m saying is I am not happy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The message is clear. The manager rates the player\u2019s work on the training ground highly, but he expects the same standards away from it.<\/p>\n<p>The drunk-driving case is not the only issue hanging over Asencio. According to several reports, he is due to appear before the Criminal Court over an alleged involvement in a sexual video incident from 2023, in which two minor women were filmed without their consent. Prosecutors accuse Asencio and three former Real Madrid academy team-mates in the case.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2288043100-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Real Madrid Training Session\" \/>Photo By Dennis Agyeman\/Europa Press via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>He has not been included in the squad for any of the club\u2019s three games this season.<\/p>\n<p>MORE KYLIAN MBAPPE STORIES<\/p>\n<p>Reports also claim Mourinho made it clear Asencio will not be part of the first-team squad at the Bernabeu this term. Real Madrid tried to offload the defender over the summer, but he turned the move down and wants to stay.<\/p>\n<p>A quadriceps injury disrupted his pre-season, and a shin problem has recently flared up, one that may need surgery if it does not improve.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Asencio trains on while his future hangs in the balance. Mourinho has set the standard, and the defender is a long way from meeting it.<\/p>\n<p>Madrid face Betis this weekend before they start their Champions League campaign against Inter next week.<\/p>\n<p>Join Our Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Receive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Jose Mourinho has publicly criticised Raul Asencio over his off-field behaviour.
