Spain fullback, Marc Cucurella, has fulfilled his promise by dying his hair red after his country won Euro 2024.

The 25-year-old vowed he would colour his curls if La Roja went all the way in Germany.

Cucurella has now posted his new look on social media.

The defender was one of the revelations of the tournament for Spain, starting six of their seven games and setting up the winning goal in the final against England.

His performances earned him a place in UEFA’s Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament, along with teammates Rodri, Fabián Ruiz, Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.

Cucurella was not even expected to be in the Spain squad a year ago, but injuries to Jose Luis Gayà and Alejandro Balde opened the door to his inclusion.

He earned just his second cap — his first came in 2021 when the U21s filled in for the senior side due to a Covid-19 outbreak — in March’s friendly against Brazil and quickly nailed down his place in the starting lineup ahead of Bayer Leverkusen’s Alejandro Grimaldo.
