Marc Cucurella promises to get a weird tattoo if Spain win the World Cup
Marc Cucurella has promised to make a tattoo of Spanish manager Luis De La Fuente on his body if La Roja wins the World Cup.
The newly signed left-back from Real Madrid has made an unusual vow ahead of his nation’s final against Argentina.

Cucurella has played every minute of the tournament so far, playing for Spain during their impressive run.
He featured in their semi-final win over France, setting the stage for their bid to become world champions.
He beats Kylian Mbappe and co. earned a place in the final of La Roja’s first World Cup since winning the tournament in 2010.
And the event is so special to Cucurella that the protector is ready to celebrate it in a very strange way.
How is Tat?
Speaking before the match between Spain and Argentina, which will take place on Sunday evening, he promised that he would draw if they came out on top.
The 27-year-old said: “If we win the World Cup, I will tattoo Luis de la Fuente’s face on my body.”
When it comes to the final, Spain is the least likely to beat Lionel Messi.
Argentina relied on recent goals from Egypt, Switzerland and England to reach the final.
Meanwhile, La Roja looked comfortable against Portugal and France, only needing a late strike against Belgium.
If the former Chelsea man has to draw this painting, he will have to decide what is best for his manager to be written about.

The irony though is that Cucurella will somehow be happy for De La Fuente to draw if Spain wins the World Cup – at least not with Barcelona, as he previously said: “I’d rather be bald than have a Barcelona badge tattoo.”
Everything is on the line
Come Sunday’s final, Cucurella certainly won’t be thinking about his potentially embarrassing tattoo.
He will be very focused on taking the famous title, Spain is aiming to win the second title.
La Roja comfortably eliminated France in the semi-finals, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro.
And now they face an Argentina side that scored two late goals to come from a heartbreaking loss to England.
The World Cup final will take place on Sunday, July 19 at 8pm BST.
