Spanish defender Marc Cucurella made a statement as surprising as it was entertaining just hours before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

Asked what he would do if Spain were crowned world champions, the Roja full-back didn’t hesitate.

“If Spain wins the World Cup, I’ll get Luis de la Fuente’s face tattooed.”

A truly original promise, highlighting the confidence and admiration Cucurella has for Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente.

European champions in 2024, the Spanish national football team is among the favorites for the 2026 World Cup. Now, the big question is whether La Roja will go all the way... and if Marc Cucurella will really have to go under the needle to fulfill his promise.
