From the beloved Bernabeu to the gold hunt for the Turkish Super League, the fall of Asensio is really regrettable

When Fenerbahce officially announced that Marco Asensio joined, countless Real Madrid fans might flash back in the minds of those years. He ignited the passionate years of the Bernabeu with one foot after another.

At that time, he was regarded as the banner of the future of Bernabeu, and was Florentino's favorite star, and the prince in the mouths of Real Madrid fans. Now, this 29-year-old former genius finally chose to go away to Türkiye after experiencing the upset between Paris and Villa. His story once again verifies the curse that circulated in Madrid.

Leaving Real Madrid, it is cold and cold. Some people say that if you leave the protection of Bernabeu, the outside world will be particularly cold. From Di Maria to Casemiro, from Varane to Ronaldo, countless superstar experiences confirm this.

Now, it's Asensio's turn.

Transfer to Paris Saint-Germain should have been his stage to prove himself, but he became a passerby and could not find his place in the lineup of superstars. On loan to Aston Villa, I wanted to regain my state in an environment with a more core tactical position, but I was never able to integrate into the rhythm of the Premier League. He sadly discovered that without Real Madrid's system and halo, the routine operations that once made him proud have become extremely difficult. He overestimated himself and underestimated the bonus of Real Madrid's platform to him. This summer, there were rumors that Villarreal and Real Sociedad were interested in him, but the thunder was heavy and rain was small. In the end, no official La Liga offer was put on his table. The reality is cruel, and the mainstream teams in the top five European leagues have closed the door to him.

In this case, joining Fenerbahce became his last goal in his career. In Türkiye, far away from the European central stage, in a season without European competition. What he bet is his last hope to return to the Spanish national team and participate in the 2026 World Cup. He had no way out, and this might be the last straw he could catch.

The rebirth of Istanbul is 29 years old, and it should be the peak age for an attacker. Asensio chose Fenerbahce. In addition to having a good salary, it is more important to be the core here and become the football genius who amazed Europe again.

Asensio's career was like a gorgeous meteor, cutting through the night sky of the Bernabeu, but falling prematurely. His story is a warning to all talented players. Talent determines your starting point, but personality and choices determine your end point.
