Cucurella gets tattoo of Spain coach De la Fuente after World Cup win

Spain defender Marc Cucurella has kept his promise to get a tattoo of World Cup-winning coach Luis de la Fuente. Cucurella helped Spain win the World Cup this month as they beat Argentina 1-0 in the final.

The tattoo, revealed by Cucurella on social media, is a portrait of De la Fuente holding the World Cup in front of the number 26. Alongside pictures and video of the tattooing process, Cucurella wrote: "Promise kept."

After the final, De la Fuente joked about the promise, saying he expected Cucurella to follow through. "I've already told them, 'did you make a mistake?'" he joked in his post-match news conference. "They did, but they'll enjoy it. I'm not so terribly ugly that they will need to put it somewhere nobody can see it. But it makes me laugh and I am proud they keep their promises."

Cucurella also carried his wife's pyjama top as a lucky charm during the World Cup and recently said he has his trademark long, curly hair so his child can easily keep track of him during matches.
