Spanish WAGs claim they were harassed and 'touched without consent' at Super Cup in Saudi Arabia
A series of allegations have been made around the aftermath of Real Madrid vs RCD Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup.
The partner of an RCD Mallorca star has claimed that she and several other players' partners were harassed and 'touched without consent' after their side's Spanish Super Cup clash against Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia.
The Spanish Super Cup moved to Saudi Arabia in 2020 and became an expanded four-team tournament.
It is contested by the winners and runners-up of both La Liga and the Copa del Rey; it was traditionally only contested by the winners of each tournament.
Real Madrid won the game 3-0 thanks to second half goals from Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, with Mallorca's Martin Valjent putting the ball through his own net.

Real will face Barcelona in the final, with that clash taking place at King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah.
The stadium also played host to the semi-final between Los Blancos and Mallorca - but there have now been allegations of misconduct from a group of supporters who attended the fixture.
Cristina Palavra - the wife of Mallorca star Dani Rodriguez - told Spanish outlet 7EsportsIB3 (via Football Espana) that local fans, who were supporting Real Madrid, 'harassed' her and a group of other players' partners as they were leaving the stadium, and took photos of them 'up close'.
She explained (quotes via Daily Mail): "We went with the children and there was no security.
"The truth is that the boys from this country started taking photos of us up close and harassed us. Natali, Dominik Greif's wife, too.
"We went as a group, all together with the organisation and everything, but we couldn't do anything else. We got to the bus as best we could, that's how it is."
A Mallorca supporter who was present at the stadium claimed to El Partadizo de COPE that security 'mixed us up with fans from there... and throughout the match, many of them were bothering us, making fun of us, bothering and provoking children and older people'.
They added: "At the end of the match, on the way from the stands to the bus, hundreds of people heckled us and lined us up. They took photos of us without consent, hitting us on the back of the head.
"The worst thing was what the women suffered. They were touched. They were taken photos without consent... yes... touched."
