Shock in the Copa del Rey: Real Madrid players attacked by fans!

During the exciting semi-final game of the Copa del Rey between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid (0-1), there were frightening incidents in the stadium. How krone.at reported that Real defender Raul Asencio was attacked by the hosts' supporters shouting "Asencio, die". This hostility is linked to an ongoing sex video scandal in which the 22-year-old is said to be involved. The referee even had to briefly interrupt the game to clarify the situation.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti reacted quickly to the worrying chants and replaced Asencio at half-time. He explained: "Nobody likes a whole stadium chanting 'Die!', so I preferred to replace him because his emotions might affect him." Even after the referees activated the anti-hate protocol, the worrying mood was noticeable, reported forbes.com.
