#1 Marco Asensio's grooming routine goes awry

Real Madrid CF v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Second Leg
Marco Asensio

Real Madrid's 21-year-old forward Marco Asensio is possibly one of the biggest attacking talents in world football at the moment and he is as fit as anyone, yet his grooming routine seemed to go completely against him ahead of the club's first game in the Champions League this year.

Like any true blue millennial, Asensio shaves his legs ahead of games and that is probably the part of the grooming routine of most footballers of his age. However, on this particular occasion things did not go to plan since he supposedly had a pimple on one of his legs and after he ran his razor over it, he contracted an infection.

Has there ever been anything as incredibly ludicrous that forced a star player to miss a game? Perhaps not but the way Asensio's grooming routing went awry must have had plenty of people in splits all over the world.
