La Liga is preparing to take official action following the hostile chants directed at Real Madrid’s young defender Raúl Asensio during the match against Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium, an incident that has sparked widespread controversy within Spanish football.
The match, held in Pamplona, was tense from the opening minutes, with offensive chants directed at the player just three minutes into the game. He was also subjected to repeated boos every time he touched the ball. In addition to Asensio, Vinícius Júnior was another player targeted by the home fans.

This atmosphere is linked to the ongoing legal case surrounding Asensio, which continues to cast a shadow over him. It is expected that he will face media and fan repercussions as long as he remains at Real Madrid.
According to reports, La Liga, headed by Javier Tebas, is considering imposing a hefty fine on Osasuna for the chants, especially since this is not the first incident of its kind at El Sadar Stadium, with similar events having occurred last season.
For its part, Real Madrid maintains that the chants did not affect Asensio, emphasizing that the player demonstrated remarkable maturity and a clear ability to handle the pressure from the fans and isolate himself from the hostile atmosphere.
The anticipated actions from the league could open a wider debate about fan discipline and financial penalties in La Liga at a time when calls are growing for stricter measures to protect players and preserve the image of the competition.
