Marc Cucurella’s New Tattoo Celebrates World Cup Victory
Marc Cucurella has honored his promise by getting a tattoo of his Spain coach, Luis de la Fuente, after Spain’s impressive victory in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The newly signed Real Madrid player declared earlier in the tournament that he would commemorate a win with a tattoo of De la Fuente if Spain lifted the trophy. On July 19, Spain triumphed over Argentina with a narrow 1-0 victory in extra time at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Nine days later, Cucurella showcased his new tattoo on Instagram, located just above his left elbow. The artwork features De la Fuente holding the World Cup trophy, along with the number 26 to signify the year of Spain’s remarkable win.
Cucurella shared a caption on his social media, stating, “A promise kept.” The 27-year-old defender played a pivotal role, starting in all of Spain’s eight matches during the tournament.
In an earlier commitment, Cucurella had dyed his long, curly hair red following Spain’s triumph in the European Championship in 2024, showcasing his dedication to the national team. Recently, he inked a contract with Real Madrid, concluding a four-year tenure at Chelsea.
After the final, De la Fuente humorously reflected on the tattoo, suggesting he might have been unwise in encouraging such an act. He said, “I’ve already told them, ‘did you make a mistake?’ They did, but they’ll enjoy it.” He continued, “I’m not so terribly ugly that they will need to put it somewhere nobody can see it. But it makes me laugh and I am proud they keep their promises.”
