Marc Cucurella’s curly mane was not born merely as a style choice. Since he was little, his long hair helped his mother, Patricia Saseta, recognize him easily when he played youth football matches.
As she watched him from the stands, Patricia needed to spot him quickly among all the players. Cucurella’s hair became a kind of visual signal, a simple way to follow his movements on the pitch without losing him among jerseys, runs and changes of position.
Over the years, that family decision ended up becoming a personal trademark. Today, his curls are an inseparable part of his image as a footballer. What began as help for his mother ended up becoming one of the most recognizable looks in Spanish football 💇♂️
