Spain defender Marc Cucurella is a man of his ​word and must now go ahead with ‌a tattoo of Spain coach Luis de la Fuente’s face on his body after the European ​champions beat Argentina 1-0 on Sunday to win ​the World Cup, the coach said.

Cucurella said ⁠earlier this week that he would ​tattoo the coach’s face on his body if ​Spain lifted the trophy.

“I am too old for tattoos, but my players are men of their word, ​and I know they will stick to ​their word,” 65-year-old De la Fuente told a press conference.

“They ‌made ⁠a mistake, and they will stick to it. I am not that ugly.”

De la Fuente has now led Spain to the ​Euro 2024 title ​as well ⁠as the World Cup.

Asked which part of Cucurella’s body he would ​like to see his face on, ​the ⁠coach said with a smile: “Maybe a part of the body where it is not visible. ⁠But ​when you say something, ​you have to stick to their word.”
