Spain defender Marc Cucurella fulfills a promise by getting a tattoo of Spain coach Luis de la Fuente following Spain’s 2026 FIFA World Cup victory. Multiple outlets report that Cucurella had pledged to have his coach’s face permanently inked on his body if Spain won the tournament. After Spain’s triumph over Argentina, Cucurella reveals the new tattoo on social media, showing de la Fuente holding the World Cup trophy, according to some reports. Other coverage notes that the timing is days after the final, and that Cucurella had made a similar promise after Spain’s Euro 2024 win. BBC Sport, Yahoo Sports, Cyprus Mail, and other international publications all describe the same core event: Cucurella keeps his word by honoring de la Fuente with the tattoo. The reports do not present additional controversy or complications, focusing instead on the gesture and the link between the pre-match pledge and the post-victory tribute.
