Marco Asensio It is clearer why he has to leave Real Madrid. The club and Ancelotti are opening the door for him, they are not doing anything different to retain him and he is not considered a decisive footballer. His doubts are cleared with the silences in the offices and the facts of the coach. The last three decisions make it clear that it is not a priority in planning next season. Ancelotti has broken with Marco Asensio since the Spaniard missed the penalty in the defeat against Mallorca at the Son Moix stadium. This is the moment that marks a new negative turning point for the continuity of a footballer who does not have the confidence of the club or the coach.
It would be unfair to blame Marco Asensio for the ills in the League, but it is usual for Real Madrid to be disappointed with this player, who is criticized for his lack of regularity. The penalty that he missed in Mallorca is considered another of the last opportunities lost on a day that Benzema was not there. Real Madrid went to the Club World Cup with a defeat in the League. Yet another reason to part ways with Asensio, because he only played the last twenty minutes of the Club World Cup final against Al Hilal.
After this game, Asensio returned to the eleven in a comfortable game against Elche at the Bernabéu and scored the first goal. A good goal on a thrashing night. Ancelotti’s words surprised when the coach was asked about the player’s future. “I don’t care much,” the Italian replied coldly and indifferently. The Bernabéu public was not affectionate either on a night in which they started with chants for another teammate whose contract expires in June: “Ceballos, stay.” Bad business for Marco Asensio.
The rise of Álvaro Rodríguez
The second trip is given by Álvaro Rodríguez. Not the squad player himself, but the club’s commitment and Ancelotti’s words. The youth squad player has a newscast in the first team, but he has already had more affection from the coach, the leaders and the stands than the Spaniard. After his saving goal in the League derby at the Bernabéu, Ancelotti and the club released Asensio. Álvaro Rodríguez becomes part of the first team and has to play ahead of Asensio. He is the future and is more exciting than a player who does not come back with the stands with his reputation for being apathetic and irregular.

The third trip is more than obvious. Marco Asensio hasn’t played a single minute in the last two games and Real Madrid needed a goal. It could have been an option to unblock the Clásico Cup against a locked-up Barcelona and the coach did not use it. Nor in the match against Betis, where Álvaro Rodríguez came out to play the last five minutes and Madrid did not put a single cross into the area. Neither Ancelotti nor the club can hold on to Marco Asensio’s lack of success in these last two games.
Among the preferences of the coach, the leaders and the fans is not the continuity of Marco Asensio. The renewal is cold, it has no role and it lacks the love of the Bernabéu. Among the reasons for the announced break is the attitude that Asensio had at the end of last season throwing an order at the coach and the club for wanting to play and win more. He later stepped into a dangerous puddle by saying that he could not rule out signing for Barcelona. The fact that his agent is Jorge Mendes does not help to bring positions closer to the renewal either.

Marco Asensio’s season is by no means brilliant, but neither can it be said that Benzema’s, indisputably, is wonderful. The French forward, between injuries and downturns, has only scored 11 goals in the League and 5 are from penalties. Asensio has a total of 6 goals, four less than Rodrygo and half less than Fede Valverde. What he does not have is confidence and in the club’s plans there is the option of reinforcing himself with Brahim Díaz. It is the last trip that they put on Marco Asensio.
In purely sporting, Marco Asensio’s situation is bizarre because he is a footballer who is a weakness for Davide Ancelotti, son and second coach, more than for his father. In different games this season, it has been Davide who, with his recommendations and insistence, has managed to make his father see in Asensio an asset to play more minutes and unblock games. Asensio divides Carlo Ancelotti and Davide in terms of tastes.
