Spain’s defender Marc Cucurella has made good on a unique promise he made during the FIFA World Cup by getting a tattoo of the national team coach Luis de la Fuente. The 28-year-old vowed to permanently ink the coach’s face on his body if Spain emerged victorious in the tournament.
In a significant development following Spain’s triumph over Argentina in the final, de la Fuente humorously reminded Cucurella about the commitment he had made. True to his word, the defender revealed a new tattoo on his left arm depicting de la Fuente holding the World Cup trophy, symbolizing the historic achievement.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, Cucurella captioned the post “Promise fulfilled” alongside videos documenting the tattooing process. This gesture not only highlights his dedication to the team but also celebrates the coach’s pivotal role in Spain’s success.
Throughout the tournament, Cucurella was a key figure in Spain’s defensive lineup, appearing in all eight matches and contributing to seven clean sheets. Notably, he carried his wife’s pyjama top as a lucky charm during the competition, which seemed to bring good fortune. His commitment on and off the field was instrumental in helping La Roja secure the coveted World Cup trophy.
