Chelsea star Marc Cucurella unveils shock new look after Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph
MARC CUCURELLA lived up to his wacky promise by dying his hair red after Spain beat England in the Euro final.
The Chelsea star was named in the Uefa Euro Team of the Tournament following his impressive displays at this summer’s Euros in Germany.
Cucurella, 25, has been caught up in the jubilations since Spain snatched their record fourth Euros title following a 2-1 win over England.
The left-back went viral after a video of him singing about drinking Estrella and making Erling Haaland tremble was posted online.
He also bizarrely threatened to knock an Argentinian streamer’s teeth out in video alongside Spanish internet star Ibai Llanos.
He said: “Cobra I’m going to pull your teeth, I’m going to hit you. I’m coming for you. I don’t have friends, I’m coming for you.”
And now the 25-year-old has unleashed his latest stunt.
According to his girlfriend Claudia Rodriguez, Cucurella promised that he would dye his iconic curly locks red if Spain won the Euros.
The Spanish beauty said: “He promised me he would dye it. But I won’t force him. He has had long hair since he was a child.”
Cucurella captioned the hilarious unveiling on Instagram with: “What has been promised is due. We’ve made a mess with @Garnier.”

And it isn’t the first time Cucurella’s mane has made headlines – after his hair was famously pulled by Cristian Romero in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea in 2022.
The Spurs defender was not penalised by Anthony Taylor for tugging on the Spain international’s locks and Harry Kane scored a late corner to equalise from the resulting play.
But his iconic transformation has had plenty of reaction online.
The Spaniard’s Chelsea team-mate Trevoh Chalobah replied: “Yoooo.”
While a fan wrote: “Absolute legend!”
Another wrote: “You look like Ariel.”
A third said: “He just won’t stop celebrating will he!”
Cucurella had an eventful tournament in which he was booed for escaping a handball decision against Germany.
He also hit back at Gary Neville for his comments that suggested he would be the weak spot in Spain’s team.
