Marc Cucurella has permanently scribed Spain's World Cup triumph into his skin, revealing a tattoo of coach Luis de la Fuente after making good on a promise he made before La Roja captured the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Spain left back unveiled the tattoo on social media Tuesday, posting a photo alongside the simple caption, "Promise kept," after vowing earlier in the tournament that he would tattoo De la Fuente's face on his arm if Spain won the title.
Spain fulfilled that dream on July 19, defeating defending champion Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Ferran Torres came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 106th minute, securing Spain's second World Cup title and first since its historic triumph in South Africa in 2010.
The tattoo, inked on the back of Cucurella's left arm by renowned Spanish tattoo artist Joaquin Ganga, portrays De la Fuente in a suit holding the World Cup trophy, along with design elements commemorating the 2026 tournament.
