Spanish defender Marc Cucurella honored a pre-tournament promise by getting a tattoo of national team coach Luis de la Fuente holding the World Cup trophy, following Spain's 1-0 win over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The victory, which marked Spain's second World Cup title and their first since 2010, prompted Cucurella to fulfill his commitment. He shared photos and videos of the tattoo on social media, receiving positive reactions from fellow athletes like Mikel Merino and Carlos Alcaraz. Cucurella played all eight matches in the tournament, contributing to Spain's undefeated campaign with seven wins and one draw, including seven clean sheets.
