In a distressing moment during Real Madrid’s Champions League knockout round playoff second leg against Benfica on February 25, 2026, young defender Raul Asencio was stretchered off the pitch wearing a neck brace.

The incident occurred in the second half at the Santiago Bernabéu, with the tie delicately poised. Asencio, jumping to contest a header and clear the ball aerially, collided heavily with his teammate **Eduardo Camavinga**. The impact left the Spanish centre-back in visible pain on the turf, barely moving as medical staff rushed to his aid.

After several anxious minutes of on-field treatment, medics carefully fitted Asencio with a protective neck brace amid concerns over his neck and possible concussion. He was then cautiously lifted onto a stretcher and carried off, receiving a warm standing ovation from the Bernabéu crowd in a show of support.

Camavinga, who got up sooner, was also substituted as a precaution. David Alaba replaced Asencio in defense.
