Real Madrid talent retires at 19

Real Madrid youth academy product Marc Cucalón has retired from football at the age of 19.

According to Idman.biz, Cucalón announced his decision on social media, explaining that a serious injury led him to this difficult choice. He was initially injured during a UEFA Youth League match in September 2022.

As reported by Relevo, Cucalón was diagnosed with a torn ACL, and during surgery, a bacterial infection occurred, causing a rare joint infection. Due to complications from this infection, he was unable to fully recover.

Cucalón played four games for Real Madrid in the Youth League and has been a free agent since July 2024.
