Real Madrid defender, Marc Cucurella has followed through on a colourful pledge made before the 2026 World Cup, getting a tattoo of Spain coach Luis de la Fuente’s face.
A photo from the tattoo parlor shows Cucurella smiling, shirtless and seated amid luggage and equipment as an artist works on the image.
Confirming the decision on social media, Cucurella wrote, “Promises are kept.”
Cucurella originally vowed to tattoo de la Fuente’s face if Spain won the tournament; La Roja secured the World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Argentina in the final.
The lighthearted update underscores the close bond between player and coach after Spain’s triumph and highlights Cucurella’s willingness to make his commitment visible.
