Marc Cucurella Keeps Promise With Luis de la Fuente World Cup Tattoo Tribute
Marc Cucurella has fulfilled a promise he made during Spain’s 2026 World Cup campaign by getting a tattoo honouring head coach Luis de la Fuente after the team’s historic triumph.
The Spain defender revealed the finished artwork on Instagram, sharing images of the tribute created by renowned tattoo artist Ganga. The tattoo shows De la Fuente lifting the World Cup trophy, with the tournament logo featured in the background.
Following Spain’s dramatic 1-0 victory over Argentina in the final, Cucurella promised he would permanently honour the manager and even asked fans for suggestions about the tattoo’s location. He later shared the result with a simple message: “Promise kept.”
The detailed artwork represents the admiration and respect Spain’s players have for De la Fuente, who guided the national team back to the top of world football after rising from the youth system to lead the senior side.
Cucurella played a major role in Spain’s World Cup success, becoming one of the team’s standout performers throughout the tournament. His achievement capped a remarkable rise from a young La Liga talent to a Premier League star and now a World Cup winner.
After completing a major move from Chelsea to Real Madrid, Cucurella handled the pressure of the spotlight and delivered on the biggest stage, helping Spain secure another historic international title.
