Aurélien Tchouameni was substituted in Real Madrid's semi-final win over Mallorca due to a head injury, highlighting the team's commitment to player safety.
Real Madrid demonstrated their unwavering commitment to player safety during their 3-0 victory against Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. The match, held in Jeddah, was filled with intensity and drama, but one moment stood out for its emphasis on health over competition.
Early in the second half, midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni collided with Mallorca forward Cyle Larin during a defensive challenge. The impact left Tchouameni on the ground, prompting immediate attention from Real Madrid's medical staff. Despite his determination to continue, the team prioritized his well-being, adhering to strict protocols for head injuries.
After a thorough on-field evaluation, the medical team recommended that Tchouameni be substituted to prevent any potential complications. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti promptly acted on this advice, replacing Tchouameni with Raúl Asencio. Tchouameni exited the field unassisted and was taken to the locker room for further assessment.
This decision underscores the increasing awareness in football regarding the risks associated with head injuries. Real Madrid’s proactive approach reflects the evolving standards in sports medicine, ensuring players' long-term health remains the top priority.

As for Tchouameni, his condition will be closely monitored in the coming days. Real Madrid fans and football enthusiasts alike will hope for his swift recovery ahead of the final. The team’s management has assured that any decision regarding his participation will prioritize his health and safety.
