What happened. Marc Cucurella got a tattoo of Spain coach Luis de la Fuente holding the World Cup, fulfilling a promise made after the World Cup final.

Cucurella played every minute of Spain's World Cup campaign.
He joined Real Madrid from Chelsea for £52m in June.
De la Fuente joked about the tattoo in his post-match news conference.

“I'm not so terribly ugly that they will need to put it somewhere nobody can see it.”
— Luis de la Fuente

Cucurella also carried his wife's pyjama top as a lucky charm during the World Cup.
