Mondial-2026: comme promis, l'Espagnol Cucurella se tatoue le visage de son sélectionneur
Spanish international Marc Cucurella unveiled a new tattoo on his arm on Tuesday: the face of his coach Luis de la Fuente, thus fulfilling a promise made before La Roja's World Cup victory.
The left-back had pledged at the beginning of the summer to get a tattoo of the coach's head if Spain won the tournament, which they did on July 19 by beating Argentina 1-0 in the final.
"Promise kept," Cucurella wrote on Instagram, captioning photos and videos of the tattoo, on which Luis de la Fuente appears in a suit, brandishing the World Cup trophy, the second for Spain after the one in 2010 in South Africa.
"Historic," commented Mikel Merino, Cucurella's teammate on the national team, under his Instagram post, while Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz called the idea "brilliant."
Marc Cucurella, 28, joined Real Madrid from Chelsea shortly before Spain's first World Cup match, a frustrating 0-0 draw against Cape Verde, later described by De la Fuente as a motivation for the team towards eventual victory.
The 65-year-old coach was appointed to replace Luis Enrique in 2022, and also won the Nations League in 2023 and then Euro 2024 with La Roja.
