Marc Cucurella has kept his word and dyed his hair red following Spain’s triumphant win at the Euros. The 25-year-old Chelsea full-back had vowed to color his curls if Spain emerged victorious in Germany, and after the team’s stellar performance, he showcased his new look on social media.
Cucurella was a standout player throughout the tournament, starting six of Spain’s seven games and assisting the winning goal in the final against England.
His remarkable performances earned him a spot in UEFA’s Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament alongside fellow Spaniards Rodri, Fabián Ruiz, Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal, and Nico Williams.

Cucurella’s inclusion in the squad was unexpected, as he was not even considered a year ago. However, injuries to Jose Luis Gayà and Alejandro Balde paved the way for his selection. He quickly became a fan favorite, particularly after impressive group stage victories over Croatia and Italy.
Spanish supporters celebrated his distinctive long hair by wearing wigs to matches, further cementing his cult hero status. In response to their support, Cucurella promised to dye his hair red if Spain clinched their fourth European title, a promise he proudly fulfilled.
