Cucurella, one of the most famous of the fans
Among these players, Marc Cucurella stands out, whose trademark is his curly hair, but behind his iconic hairstyle lies a deeper and more personal story.
Cucurella’s hair draws attention in a sport where footballers’ looks tend to follow the trends of the moment, from Beckham’s blonde highlights in the 2000s to today’s faded cuts. However, the Catalan goalkeeper decided to stay true to his personal style, moving away from passing fashion. He is attracting so much attention in this Euro Cup that there are many memes that come from his unique appearance.

In an interview with the BBC, Cucurella admitted: “It only happened once when I was 12 years old. I will never cut my hair. This is my style and I’m going to continue like this.” With these words, she makes it clear that her hair is not just a matter of aesthetics, but an integral part of her identity.
A different look without cutting your hair
Despite her dedication to her hair, Cucurella has experimented with her look, not always resorting to scissors. In 2020, she surprised everyone by doing small braids on her head, a radical change that she shared on her social networks. The reaction was immediate. Former Getafe team-mate Hugo Duro said: “What the hell have you done with your hair?”, reflecting the general surprise at this shocking change. This temporary appearance confirmed that Cucurella’s mane is such a deep-rooted symbol that any change has a big impact among his fans and peers.
