Before the World Cup final, Cucurella made a public promise to get De la Fuente’s face inked on his body if Spain were to lift the trophy. True to his word, after the team’s triumph, the defender didn’t back down and headed straight to the tattoo artist.
Now, the portrait of Spain’s manager adorns Cucurella’s thigh—De la Fuente is depicted wearing glasses and a suit in the tattoo.
This unusual piece of body art has become a memorable symbol for Cucurella, marking Spain’s historic triumph and the crucial role the coach played in their road to glory.
It’s worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Cucurella made 34 Premier League appearances, scored one goal and provided four assists. This summer, the defender transferred from Chelsea to Real Madrid, signing a contract with the Spanish capital club until June 2032.
Reminder: Spain makes its decision. Will De la Fuente stay with the national team?
