Spanish police arrested three Real Madrid youth players on Thursday. The police arrested them for distributing a sexual video featuring a minor. The players are not minors. Later, police released them after a court decision. They also seized their mobile phones and took those into custody.
The case started after the mother of a 16-year-old girl in the Canary Islands filed a complaint regarding an alleged recording of sexual relations. The girl's relations were consensual but the recording was without her consent and she recently became aware of it.
Police said the three players are in detention at the Real Madrid sports complex in Madrid. A fourth player is under investigation. One of those arrested is a reserve team player and two play for the third team.
Real Madrid issued a statement saying only that a total of four youth team players had been questioned by police "in connection with a complaint about an alleged release of a private video via WhatsApp."
All three are suspected of committing a known crime in Spanish criminal law as "revealing secrets of a sexual nature", police said. According to El Confidencial newspaper, the main subject is a player of the third team. He recorded his sexual relationship with the 16-year-old victim.

Liverpool has turned the tables beautifully in recent times. They were a great force in the European competition but suddenly went numb. Liverpool had a rough patch where they went trophyless for many years. With the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager, Liverpool slowly redeemed themselves. In the 2017-18 season, they reached the UCL finals but failed to win against Real Madrid.
Next season they came back stronger, from a 3-0 defeat in the first leg to win 4-0 in the second leg and knocked Barcelona out of the UCL semis. Liverpool went on to be the champions defeating Spurs by 2-0 in the all-English final to win their 6th UCL trophy. Their great comeback against Milan in 2005 at Istanbul still gives goosebumps to every football fan.
