World Cup 2026: Gavi keeps his promise too

Just like Cucurella, Pablo Gavi has kept the promise he made following Spain's triumph at the 2026 World Cup.

Several weeks after Spain lifted the 2026 World Cup trophy, the FC Barcelona midfielder appeared on social media with his hair dyed pink. Pablo Gavi thus honored the vow he made in case the Spanish national team secured victory.

The world champion paired his bold new look with a simple message: "Man of his word." It's worth noting that Pablo Gavi is not the only Spanish international to have fulfilled a bet linked to their World Cup glory.

Just a few days ago, Marc Cucurella got a tattoo of head coach Luis de la Fuente's face, while Lamine Yamal had vowed to let his beard and mustache grow out for three weeks.
