Marc Cucurella Promises to Dye Hair Red if Spain Wins Euro 2024
Marc Cucurella’s partner has revealed that the Chelsea defender has ‘promised’ his Spain teammates he will dye his hair bright red if they triumph over England in the Euro 2024 final this weekend.
The 25-year-old faced significant criticism during a challenging season at Chelsea but has emerged as a key player for Spain in Germany, starting all but one match en route to the final.
After a standout performance in the semi-final victory against France, Cucurella is expected to feature prominently in the final against England, with Spain reaching their first major tournament final in 12 years.
Spain, led by Luis de la Fuente, have been the standout team of the tournament and enter the final in Berlin as favorites to lift the trophy. Despite England’s recent peak in form, confidence is soaring within the Spanish camp.
“The boys are elated,” Cucurella’s girlfriend, Claudia Rodriguez, told Espejo Publico. “I called Marc when they were back on the bus [after defeating France] and they had a huge party going on. They were super happy. They deserve it and hopefully on Sunday we can win the title.”
Rodriguez expressed her pride in Spain’s success: “The truth is that it is a source of great pride to see him wearing the Spanish national team shirt and to see him doing what he is doing at the Euros. It is wonderful to see how far the boys have come and how they have brought the country back together.”
Despite Cucurella’s impressive performances, he faced boos during Spain’s semi-final win over France.
It was later revealed that these boos came from neutral German supporters upset over a handball incident in the quarter-final against Germany.
“In a recent interview with El Partidazo, Cucurella suggested he would dye his curly locks red if Spain goes all the way in Germany, and Rodriguez confirmed this promise: “I think he has promised to dye his hair red, but he has not promised me anything and I am not going to force him.”
Rodriguez also shared insight into Cucurella’s iconic hair: “He has had long hair all his life, since he was little. It’s part of his personality and identity, and people often tell me to cut his hair, but I love it.”
As Spain prepares for the final showdown, fans will be eagerly watching to see if Cucurella follows through on his colorful promise should they secure the title.
