Luis de la Fuente insists it's time for Marc Cucurella to fulfill his promise: get the coach's face tattooed if Spain win the World Cup. After beating Argentina in the final and finishing in extra time with a Ferran Torres goal, La Roja sealed yet another title on the world stage — and it opened the way for a unique celebration within the camp: team 'tato' talk. Before the tournament even started, full-back Cucurella — who is expected to move to Real Madrid — promised to get a tattoo of De la Fuente's face should Spain win the crown. Now that that's accomplished, the 65-year-old coach hopes the defense will live up to its word. De la Fuente even joked that he wasn't "too ugly" and that all he had to do was find a part of his body that wasn't too visible to put the tattoo on, proof that he had fun and joined the team's internal dynamic. This victory encapsulates the golden phase of Spanish futbol. The men already hold the European crown, while Spain's national women's team are also reigning world champions. Since handing over the reins to him in 2022, De la Fuente has lifted La Roja back to the top by instilling confidence in a new generation drawn from the country's youth setup and a clear principle that puts the collective ahead of the individual.

Amidst the celebration, the coach's message was emphatic: the real key to success is the right travel companions — players with principles and team-oriented values. It was this vision that laid the foundations of their campaign, until the moment when Ferran Torres sealed the winner in extra time against Argentina. This is also not the first time that a strange 'tattoo' promise has turned into reality in the world of sports. In rugby, Mack Hansen got coach Andy Farrell's face tattooed after Ireland won the Six Nations in 2023 — an example some in the Spain camp now seem to be following. According to De la Fuente, others are said to have gotten in on the joke and similar promises, an indication of a light but strong association within the dressing room. For followers in the Philippines, La Roja's resurgence on the biggest stage is important context. After years of change, the right blend of youth and experience has come together under De la Fuente. And if Cucurella's promise tattoo will be the symbol of this era, it's not just fun — it's the memory of a team that succeeded because of a common goal and a clear identity. As we look ahead to the next chapter of Spain's campaign, including the expected final details on Cucurella's 'tattoo', the lesson from their World Cup run remains clear: if the team comes first, the result follows — and sometimes, ink on the skin.

What's next

It is hoped that Marc Cucurella will follow through on his promise and tattoo the face of Luis de la Fuente, which will be a symbol of their victory in the World Cup 2026. This kind of recognition can inspire other players to continue their dedication to the team. In the future, Spain will continue their preparations for the next tournaments, including the World Cup 2026 football, where La Roja is expected to be the main contender.
