Marc Cucurella was Euro 2024's unlikely protagonist — his handball in the semifinal against France sparked enormous controversy, yet Spain went on to win the tournament. A left-sided defender who can operate as a full-back or wing-back, he developed through Barcelona's academy before finding his best form at Brighton under Roberto De Zerbi, earning a big-money move to Chelsea. Aggressive in the press, comfortable in tight spaces, and willing to carry the ball forward, he brings energy rather than elegance. His Spain place has been hard-won and is never entirely secure, which seems to suit his combative temperament.
