Marco Asensio's crisis at Fenerbahçe as he refuses to sit on the bench against Aston Villa

Marco Asensio declined to be included in Fenerbahçe's squad for the match against Aston Villa after learning he would not start in the starting lineup. He decided not to participate in the match, which ended in a 6-0 defeat for the Turkish team.

According to İmin Uluç, Marco Asensio got into a dispute after being informed of the decision to keep him on the bench, as he showed his anger and refused to accept the decision, given his desire to participate as a starter.

Oğuz Çetin tried to convince the player to accept the coaching staff's decision and sit on the bench, and those moments were captured in footage broadcast by the club's channel, before administrative figures intervened to contain the situation.

Despite attempts to persuade him, Marco Asensio has maintained his stance and refused to back down from his decision, missing the match in which Fenerbahçe suffered a heavy defeat against Aston Villa by six goals to nil.
