Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio feels the sacking of Julen Lopetegui was unfair.
Lopetegui was axed by Madrid a fortnight ago - just four months after he was also dismissed by Spain before the World Cup.
Asensio stated: "Football was a little unfair to Julen. In these key moments, we did not have success, luck ... I do not know what to call it.
"It's a very complicated situation, with what happened with the national team and then with the club, not only for him, but also for his staff, who always gave the maximum.
"They did not have the chance to triumph at Real Madrid."
