Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio, who was hospitalized at the end of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff against Benfica (2-1), addressed the team's fans. "Thank you for the support. It was just a scare, everything is fine. We move on to the next stage – Hala Madrid!" Asencio wrote on social media. The incident occurred in the 77th minute of the match when Asensio collided violently with his teammate Eduardo Camavinga. The clash took place in the opponent's midfield during a contest for a high ball. The Frenchman got up unscathed, but the Spaniard was unable to rise on his own and was carried off on a stretcher.
