Asencio, under investigation for allegedly distributing a sexually explicit video involving a minor, has faced increased hostility from rival fans. Ancelotti confirmed that, though affected by the incident, Asencio remained part of the team moving forward. The game was paused as officials initiated an anti-hate protocol, showcasing the seriousness of fan behavior and its impact on players.
Asencio, 22, has become a regular target for rival supporters due to an investigation into his alleged role in the distribution of a sexually explicit video involving a minor.
