Before Sunday’s World Cup final

Marc Cucurella says he will retire from international football if Spain beat Argentina in the World Cup final. The Chelsea defender believes winning Euro 2024 and the World Cup would complete his Spain career.

Cucurella has played every minute of Spain’s run to the final and also promised a tattoo of Luis de la Fuente if Spain win. His comments create a surprising player-future subplot before the biggest match of his career.
