Cucurella Reveals the Promise He Will Keep if Spain Wins the World Cup

Just hours before the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, Marc Cucurella is already thinking about how he would commemorate a moment that could change the history of Spanish football forever.

The Spain left-back revealed that if La Roja defeats Argentina and wins its second World Cup title, he plans to fulfill a very special promise.

He will get a tattoo.

But it will not be the FIFA World Cup trophy or the Spanish national team crest.

Instead, it will be the face of the man many inside the dressing room believe transformed this generation of Spain: Luis de la Fuente.

A Tribute to the Architect of This Spain Team

Speaking to El Partidazo de COPE, Cucurella admitted that he already knows how he wants to celebrate a potential World Cup triumph.

"I'm thinking about getting a tattoo if we win the World Cup."

Then came the biggest surprise.

The defender revealed that the tattoo would be dedicated to Spain's head coach.

"It will be the face of Luis de la Fuente, for everything he has done for us. It would be something truly wonderful."

He even joked about where he might get it.

"I still don't know where. Maybe on my bicep."

His comments perfectly illustrate the strong bond between the squad and their manager.

Luis de la Fuente Changed Spain

Luis de la Fuente's influence goes far beyond trophies.

Before taking charge of the senior national team, he helped build much of this generation through Spain's youth system, winning European championships while overseeing the development of players such as Pau Cubarsí, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, and many others who now form the backbone of the national team.

Since becoming Spain's senior coach, La Roja has rediscovered the competitive identity it had lost for several years.

The team lifted the UEFA Nations League, won UEFA Euro 2024, and now stands one victory away from adding a FIFA World Cup title, something achieved only once before by the legendary South Africa 2010 generation.

It is no surprise that so many players see their coach as one of the key figures behind this team's success.

One Match Away From History

Awaiting Spain is the toughest challenge of the tournament.

Standing in the way is defending world champion Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, a team that has repeatedly shown throughout the knockout stage that it knows how to survive under pressure.

For Spain, success will once again depend on controlling midfield, maintaining the defensive solidity provided by Pau Cubarsí and Aymeric Laporte, taking advantage of Mikel Oyarzabal's outstanding form, and unleashing the creativity and unpredictability of Lamine Yamal.

If La Roja lifts the trophy, it will not only secure the second World Cup title in the country's history.

It will also confirm that this generation deserves to stand alongside the greatest teams Spanish football has ever produced.

And if Marc Cucurella keeps his promise, Luis de la Fuente will become part of that history forever... quite literally.
