Marc Cucurella has had an image of Spain coach Luis de la Fuente tattooed on his arm, fulfilling a promise made after the team's World Cup triumph earlier this month.
The former Chelsea left-back, who joined Real Madrid this summer, revealed the tattoo on the underside of his arm in an Instagram post on Tuesday. The design features a portrait of the 65-year-old De la Fuente alongside the World Cup trophy.
"Promise fulfilled," Cucurella wrote alongside a picture of himself getting the tattoo done.
Speaking after Spain's 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina in the final, De la Fuente joked that Cucurella might have made a mistake with the tattoo.
"I've already told them, 'did you make a mistake?'" he said 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, who carried his wife's pyjama top as a lucky charm during the tournament, started in all eight of Spain's matches as they won the World Cup, helping the side keep seven clean sheets.
