Marc Cucurella says he will get a tattoo of his coach’s face if Spain wins the World Cup

Spain is set to face Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Before the clash, Real Madrid left-back Marc Cucurella told Spanish radio station El Partidazo de COPE that he would get a bizarre tattoo if Spain managed to lift the trophy.

The 27-year-old Spaniard said that if Spain wins the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he will get a tattoo of the face of the Spanish football team coach, Luis de la Fuente. He added that the tattoo will be small but did not choose the place to be inked.

Cucurella said it was not a joke but a tribute to Fuente, who continued to select him despite disappointing performances in the Euros.

Cucurella has a habit of pulling off crazy challenges every time after Spain wins a title. In 2024, after Spain won the European Cup, the iconic player dyed his famous curly hair bright red and actually followed through on the decision.

Spain reached the final by beating France 2-0 and now face an Argentina team who beat England in the semi-final thanks to a Lautaro Martínez header in stoppage time. The victory would give Spain their second World Cup title after 16 years. Spain won its first title in 2010.

Argentina are the defending champions and if Spain beats Argentina, fans could see Fuente’s face tattooed on Cucurella’s body.
